drive can be "seen" at bios level but is not there in Windows.
I'm currently using Ghostcopy to read the drive and copy the data sector by
sector, and I'll see if that allows me any access to the data. TBH it's the
NTFS issue that concerns me, I've never got up to date with what can/cannot
be done under NTFS in comparison to FAT16/32.

*Cough* locate a program called easy recovery by ontrack. Its gotten my
MP3's
back when windows decided that it knew better about what was important and
trashed the MFT on the drive.

If the other box isnt seeing it, check in the management console that there
isnt
a volume on it thats not active, You need to right click it and choose
something
to make it mount a foregn volume.
