I have a maxtor 120g SATA drive that can have either pata or sata power connected. It was my original sata drive. When I upgraded I had it as my third drive. All worked fine for a few months until I did a system restore(windows xp)which informed me this drive was not “involved”, I cannot remember the exact phrasing for it was a while ago. I have not been able to access this drive, it doesnot show up in device manager but does in bios and is recognised on startup. Can anyone advise me on why this may have occurred and can it be recovered. Thanx for any help.
