hi ppl.. i have a 20 GB maxtor... and it stopped working..
now when the BIOS detects the hard drive, it shows the label somthing like
Maxtor Athena WAH[some numbers]
but after that it says that primary master failed.. and the primary master is that hard drive. please help me out about how can i fix this problem as the data on my hard drive is very important and i need it back in any way possible...
another thing i like to tell is that ive used the PowerMax disk manager software. it runs 6 tests to check the disk installation. the first three tests are about jumper check, power connector check and data cable check.. they passes
the last three tests fails.. they are about
BIOS extension support Failed
Partition Information Failed
Smart Enable Failed
ive also tried this drive on other systems... as a slave.. but same problem..
... please.. any body.. help me out to recover my data from that drive... tell me how can i fix these errors.. wot i think is that all problems are caused by the BIOS extension support.. i might b wrong.. please help me out... waiting replies |

sorry to say you wont be able to do anything yourself
its more likely a data recovery company job
at the moment we will be doing all repairs for maxtor hard drives
very soon
we are based in canada which is a lot cheaper for our usa customers  |
