I have an IBM DeathStar (my second one, the first one crashed) that I'm having trouble with. Windows was acting goofy, and over the period of a few days I installed winxp several times. Finally, one time, I booted my computer and the BIOS reported that there was no OS installed. The BIOS recognizes a hard drive of the correct size, just not an OS on it. A Lindows install CD also recognized the drive of correct size, but I obviously did not want to format since it would delete my data. I tried to put it in a friend's computer as a secondary drive but it wasn't recognized by that computer. I also attempted Knoppix but I couldn't figure out how to access the drive from it. I'm not sure if the drive is working properly or not. Does anyone know of a good way to get my data off of the drive or diagnose this better?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
