I blanked my 2 harddrives by setting both of them to Master :-<

[FreeFrag]

Well, I put two Seagate 20Gb hard drives into my KK266 and accidently had them set as master (both of them). Now they are blank, except for a Recycled folder. The one I want recoverd says out of 19Gb 17.1Gb is used, although it only has a Recycled folder. I really need the data off it, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Pulpp, I am worried that running a scandisk could damage it further...thanks for your help anyway.

That sucks. I actually did this once, set two drives both to master, and then when I realized that that was why they weren't detecting, I just set them back to master and slave and they both worked fine. I think there's a Norton utility for data recovery, you could try that out.

J3anyus, thanks for your help. What utility in Norton would that be?

Ouch, thats gotta be the easiest way to stuff up your drives. Poor luck dude.

i don't have any suggestios for this, however, you should try another forum section, such as troubleshooting. This is the off topic foum, and we usually do not discuss computer related problems.
