My Western Digital 500GB HD is not cooperating
Hello there,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to help me.
I have some pretty important information on my hard drive I bought last year and in the process of cleaning it out I accidentally deleted some hidden files that I imagine were not suppose to be deleted...
My computer will now not even recognize it as a valid drive. It will not show up in My Computer, Devise Management, Computer Management/Disc Management nor the Western digital freeware that I downloaded (Data Lifeguard Tools, WinDLG). It is not recognized in Acronis Disc Editor, nor Active@ Partition Recovery Enterprise.
I have also tried retrieving the deleted hidden folder with the program PC Inspector File Recovery, and DiscInternals Uneraser... with no luck.
The drive still acts like it is fine for I can hear it spinning and when I boot it is partially there.
When scanning hard drives it says: IDE Channel2 Slave - S_ATA2 -
part of the information is missing because my other drive that is fine says:
IDE Channel2 Master - S_ATA1 - WDC WD800JD-0
When I enter BIOS the same message
Channel2 Master [S_ATA1 - WDC WD800JD-0]
Channel2 Slave [S_ATA2]
Can anyone help me with this disastrous predicament? I am in dire need of a genius computer technician!!!!
