Well i wouldn't like to go over the tread 3 times, just go read the problem from the begining, you will the see what has been done and why.
How can i check if the drive is registered in the BIOS when i had to jump start the drive connecting it to the pc while working??
That was the only way to boot up with that drive connected parallel with my Win7 drive...
In Elevated Command Prompt
Does it see the disk. I assume it's number 1.Code:diskpart list disk
Still in diskpart
Of course replace # with rela disk number.Code:sel disk # clean exit
Works? Only do it if you want to destroy EVERYTHING on disk. All partitions and files are gone forever
sorry for the confusion,
try disconnecting your main drive and then put your windows instalation into the cd drive, is the faulty hdd detected?
report back, then
remove the windows instalation disk and put in your partition wizard cd/usb and boot from it, is the drive also detected here?
If partition wizard can't recover the partition(s) and surface scan retruns no errors (let it only check first few GB, so let it run 10 minutes)
Be sure you select the correct disk!!!

I Personaly like the edit you put in.....
Will do as you say. But not now, because i am running partition recovery wizard, and for 10 minuets it hassdon only 0% so that means it will be left over the night. I will delete all of the data after the test is done. Now the bad hdd isn't appearing as unallocated, but as a logical type, and bad disk...
it took me 9.6 hours for it to complete on my 1tb disk
