I got this hdd from my pc that got infected and I'm trying to save some of the data in it (is a Samsung and was installed in a HP Pavillion). I installed it in another pc and when I tried to access the drive it ask me if I want to fomatte this drive and if I go to properties it shows 0 bytes. Is it possible that the hdd is blocked and is not allowing me access the data in it or is it just bad.

Hard drive question
- Thread starter arock1_3
- Start date
What model Samsung is it? What are the specs of the system you have it in now?
The series is SV800 80gb mft. 01/2003
The specs in the machine it a PII with 300 some mb of ram, which in my opinion should not be an issue because the main hdd in that pc is a newer Samsung hdd but who it might be the case. Now the pc recognized the hdd but it cannot be access.

Well I decided to open it up and destroy since I have not been able to access the data and I can't even format the damn thing so is history.
That's what happens when you open up the drive
