So I've run into an odd situation with one of my HDs. It was my program drive, a Maxtor 80 gig, and Windows(2K) started to act very oddly, so I rebooted. On reboot I got an error stating I was missing the kernel file and I needed to reinstall it, but my bootable windows CD wasn't even able to write to the drive. Then the BIOS wouldn't see the drive anymore. I just got it back and am now seeing the drive in windows(by installing windows to another HD and booting to that one with the problem drive as a slave), but I can't copy files off of it; it says cannot read from the source file or disk. I really need some of the stuff on that drive for work; could anyone suggest something?
