2nd HDD suddenly Showing Up As Unformatted

Hi folks. Just wondering if someone here has come across this kind of problem before. I run 2 HDD, both are Maxtor 60gb, the Master holds Win 2000, Win XP Pro, and Redhat 7.3. The 2nd HDD holds 3 partitions, I use these for storage of various data - Multimedia, Webdev, MP3, ect. Here's the prob - On reboot earlier today, the 2nd HDD suddenly showed up as unformatted. I've booted into a couple different DOS based diag apps, and get the same result, that the partitions are unformatted, including Partition Magic. The 3 partitions are intact, just unformatted. Which, of course, renders the data useless, as I can't get to it. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. - Thank You. -Ed Parrott

Sounds like you've got a busted harddrive. Not much to be done.

Three words for you:
Data recovery service.
There are some programs you can buy, or you can take your drive to a professional company (usually the hd manufacturer will be able to recommend one), and they can pull the data off onto another drive for you.
Oh, and welcome to the forums, Ed!
