My data drive is acting up :( I have found a couple of apps that will retreive the data, but they cost more than I can afford. They at least show me all the data is still there, and that it is accessible. Does anyone know of an app that will repair the drive (Maxtor 6Y120L0)? Checked on the...

I am gonna give that one a try, I have 3 others here that I am going to try as well - there is one that charges by the GB - it would cost $644 to retrieve all the data on the drive! I think I will pass on that one!

Yeah, I put the drive with the OS on it right afterwards and have not been able to see the drive since. Disk Management shows the disk as unreadable Explorer shows D:\ is not Accessible. The parameter is incorrect. File system shows up as RAW I have tried everything I can think of, does...

I had a 2nd 120GB kicking around, so I finally got around to putting it in. I took out the old 12GB I had been using for my OS, and made the new 120 my primary drive. I left the other 120GB I had in there to be the slave drive and booted up. The new 120 made some funky noises (it was not brand...

Running OS X 10.04 I have downloaded about 10 .dmg files and when I go to open them, I get checksum errors with disk copy. I doubt they have somehow all gotten corrupted, so I have no idea what the problem might be. I am a newbie to Mac's, so I am not too sure on this one... ;)

Umm, the other specs are listed in the first post. There is also a propietary DVR card in there that controls input from 16 cameras...that is why there are so many hard drives in there, this computer is the heart of a security system. The power supply is an AOpen Had I built the computer, I...

Any sites out there that have the power draw that various hardware takes? I have a system here that has 7 hard drives in it, and they had only put in a 300w power supply. Has been running fine for a month or so, but just wondering if/when it might need a bigger power supply P4 2.0 512MB DDR...

i think this might be an abit board that is in there now, no idea what one, and i am just putting in some crap combo board (good enough for the parents), hopefully it will work, i really don't want to be over there all day!

oh yeah definitely, i always do it that way.

i think i did that all last time, except maybe the ide controllers, i will give that one a try and hope that it works. thanks

i don't even remember the specs on this thing, i put it together a while ago...

arg.

you think? all i really want to know is if this is more hassle than it is worth? the system is running windows 2000 (prof). just putting in some crap motherboard as the usb ports on the one they have right now don't work.

anyone have any advice on this one? i have to go over to my parents today and replace their motherboard, and i don't really want to spend all day there reinstalling windows and all the programs that they have. i know it is not the best idea, but time constraints being what they are, is there an...

yeah, quite familiar with fdisk, not an option, don't want to have to erase the logical drives, they have data on them. gonna reinstall windows 2000, i have done it countless times on countless machines, but this is the first time that i have had to try to re-do it on a volume that was ntfs...so...
