RE: (OT) Help! Bad Drive

["groups@xxxxxxx" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

things have gone from bad to worse.

When rebooting the windows 2000 server
windows 2000 server starts booting and then
near the end I get a blue screen saying unaccesible
boot device. ARGH ! The drive has active directory on it too.

I then put the drive into a windows xp machine as a slave so I could
recover some data and it. Bios recognises it but xp will not boot
if the drive is connected. I tried connecting it after xp
was booted and then xp becomes un resposive.

I have tried a few dos utils  like ontrack but I am not getting
anywhere. I tried Powermax and it reports an error on the drive
when it scans it. It must be a bad block somewhere.
I have some hope that the drive data is recoverable as it
gets pretty far into windows 2000 server boot up.

help help help - any got any suggestions - this is my mail server ?
