[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 328532, member: 7463"] There are only two types of hard drives- those that have failed and those that are going to fail. I think yours is the former (bad Partition table, probably). As it is an old IDE drive, you no doubt can't install it as an internal drive in your computer (that would be the first choice) and as you noted initializing it will zap current data. Personally I would download and try to retrieve the data with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition. There is a setting for "[B]Lost Disk Drives[/B]" that may assist you (or may not). [/QUOTE]
