restarting now...


that appears to have worked. It's analyzing the hard drive now.

"File record segment 12 is unreadable"
"File record segment 13 is unreadable"
"File record segment 14 is unreadable"
"File record segment 15 is unreadable"
"File record segment 16 is unreadable"
"File record segment 17 is unreadable"
...

"File record segment 32 is unreadable"
"0 percent complete. (33 of 117184 file records processed)"

if this works, I've got another hard drive sittin' around I'll have to copy over. That'll be fun, converting IDE to SATA. I hope my converter works.

...

it worked. Recognized and copied files to other hard drive. Thanks radu.

Still not sure why they would have two open SATA slots that aren't usable. Doesn't make sense.

It's probably a BIOS setting you just missed tongue.gif

Good to hear you solved the problem though!
