    windows displays incorrect disk sizes

    when i originally installed the 160Gb maxtor, it was post xp install. the full disk size was recognised and i had none of these problems until the disk header got corrupted. from what you're saying i should see usable unpartitioned space in partition magic, but this is not the case. partition...

    windows displays incorrect disk sizes

    i ran the maxtor big drive enabler, which is supposed to turn on 48-bit LBA, and updated my bios. according to the abit site my board supports 160Gb as standard and over 160Gb with bios update. i'm still hitting a ceiling of 128Gb or 137GB depending on where i look at the disk sizes.

    damaged / lost volume header

    i have stellar phoenix fat/ntfs, which has got me out of trouble before, and works fine. trouble is, as i understand it, that for any of these recovery apps, you need a secondary location to recover your data to. with the 100bg of data i need to recover, and all the deleted files i'm bound to...

    damaged / lost volume header

    i think i've lost the header to one of my internal disks ( maxtor 160gb). this is a storage only disk, and contains no software but regularly accessed files. after a system reboot, the disk name was magically reset to 'local disk', and the file system changed from ntfs to raw. whenever i try to...
