I have a Maxtor SATA hdd and a Raptor SATA hdd. The maxtor is on the 2nd sata channel. Anyway, when Windows XP goes to load the screen goes black and stays that way after the windows logo comes up before it would actually go into windows.
When I disconnect the maxtor everything works ok. I've tried swapping cables and channels and a lot of things. Tried to load windows with a PATA hdd as well and the maxtor would not let it load. I only got into windows once and could only see one of the drives partitions (on the maxtor).
I'm pretty sure something is physically wrong with this drive. Since i have an Asus A7v600 i can't even run maxtors diag tool to see what it is.
Is there anything I can do to retrieve some of my data on my own? There is no OS installed on the maxtor, its just a few partitions with various data.
