Can see drive, but no data/folders?

I have a Maxtor 60g drive that appears to have failed, not physically. I am using a W95 machine for testing (could be my first mistake) with EZ drive installed in the bios. I first used the FDISK /mbr command to fix the boot record that I believe was corrupted and then ran the EZ Drive boot disk utility to test the drive. It says all is okay! Now when I install the drive as a slave drive my bios sees only 8gigs instead of the full amount. I tried to manually input the drive data into the bios but the figures don’t generate the correct size of the drive. Could this be because of the W95 system? Also is there a way to low level format the drive without losing the data which is my prime directive?
