COMPLETELY missing HD, wont show up anywhere...
Hi all, thanks for reading...
I have a 300GB WD VelociRapter, a few years old, I bought to use as my C: drive because of the extra RPM/speed(supposedly). I partitioned it in half and it worked fine until recently it started intermittently getting BootMgr missing errors on startup. After trying and failing to fix the problem directly, I decided to install a different boot drive to fix the problem.
The problem now is I cant get the VelociRapter to mount or show up at all--as internal SATA, external SATA, external USB. Not in Device Mgr, or Disk Management, nor a handful of free disk repair programs. It's getting it's 12v/5v from the internal power ribbon, not a faulty cable or port, I tried many. I hear it spinning up.
Is it dead? I'd really like to get my files off of it.
Thanks
