Now every time I boot, i get that chkdsk screen or a drive error from the bios if i change the setting. I now have the drive disabled in the bios. I have some really important home movies on the drive that i need to recover.

I installed a new seagate ultra-ide 200gb hd (as a second drive and purchased as an AT HD) in my p4 3.0 system with a 120gb SATA boot drive and 1GB of ram (it's the new Dell XPS). The seagate is jumpered as a primary master since that is the only way i got it to work. The SATA is the boot drive with windows. It worked great for about 2 months, but the other day i was gaming from it and the whole system locked and i got an 'exception' error.

Any ideas or good website/forums to use to recover my files? I tried using ontrack recovery software, but since the drive is not recognized by windows, the program would not recognize it.

You checked all cables and everything, I HOPE.
I'd try Cable Select on BOTH drives, and make sure you hook the cable up properly.
I don't need your gmail, got one of my own, just trying to help I HOPE
But bios DOES see it right?
did you run a virus check ?

I refuse to play trivia with all the gmail-noobs and trolls that are coming out of the woodwork for this.
Excuse me, "gmail-noobs"? "trolls"? I've been around on this forum since 2002. Just because I don't have loads of time to post all the time, it doesn't make me a "troll." Do you even know what a troll is? Trolls don't give out gmail invites.

Thanks Kenny. I think i tried cable select when i first got the drive, but it didn't work. Bios DOES see the drive and i doubt its a virus since it was running fine and i have no viruses on my main drive.
BTW, i did run the seagate diagnostics from the boot disk which also returned bad sectors, but after it ran, it told me to reboot and the drive still wasn't visible in windows.
