If it's not recognized in BIOS it probably won't recognize it in Disk Management, or Device Manager, but for future reference to get to those. Right click on My Computer (I'm assuming it's Windows XP), and select Manager. There should be Device Manager, and Disk Management listed there.

Is this a desktop or a laptop? If a desktop, might be time to open it up, and make sure the cables are securely connected.

This is a physically seperate drive, not a partition right?

Awe F***, Fly I sure hope you get your music back!

Hey fly, if you and your help can't get it fired up, I've read you can send them out and have them repaired. It will cost you but hell if your music on it, the price is probably worth it.
I feel your pain man! Good luck dude.

I do data recovery here on the west cost, but your a ways away... if all you have is music, don’t worry about it, see if the drive is under warranty, and if it is, get a replacement. Then rerip the music.

I think it's original music. If this happened to me I'd crap my pants ... I have more than just my own original music on my drives.

It's weird that it's a partition. You can always splurge for some data recovery software ... personally, I'd go for a company that does data recovery.

Good luck ...

i use Get Data Back, http://www.runtime.org/ for all my FAT and NTFS recoverey needs. its a bit expensive, teh entire bundle cost $200, but if you know what file system you were using, you can select just The one you need.

i'm running with a 54/57 succsess rate.

Good deal fly, sucks it cost money, but I'm glad you got everything back? Is the harddrive still working, or does it have bad sectors?

dont use the drive again, if it failed once, it will fail again, soon, get the data off of it, and return the drive if its under warranty, otherwise, destroy all the data on it and use it as a paper weight.

Whew! I feel ya, Fly! I know I'd panic if I thought I'd lost my music. Congrats on the recovery! Gotta be worth every penny.

I've never trusted partitioned hard drives. My paranoia is heightened by your experience. Separate drives, backed up, for me from now on!
