I have a fairly new hard drive (250G) that for some reason got corrupted. If I have it installed in a machine, the machine won't boot. It will go through all kinds of disk checking and report that certain sectors are unreadable when I try to boot. I put it in an external case, but it won't even show up. If I have it in an external case, then go into "Computer Management" from "Administrative Tools" (using XP SP2), I can see the drive in Disk Management, but it does not have a drive letter associated with it. "Reactivate Disk" does not work, and nothing I have tried has worked so far. I am sure that if I was under investigation by the Feds they would be able to rebuild it to see if I had anything they could bust me for, but I can't find any info that could help ME rebuild or repair it. Does anyone have any idea about something I could do to get this drive working again, or know of some software that I could use? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
