Hi
My hard drive (wd200jb) started throwing errors "S.M.A.R.T." detects
errors hard drive is failing. I put in another wd200jb straight out
of the box into the slave position on the cable with the jumper set to
CS and did a "boot disk copy" using the boot from Life Guard Tools CD
and 'run life guard tools' utility to copy the C drive to the D
drive. There were several messages saying my computer couldn't use a
drive bigger then 137 gb. But the help page said XP sp1 (mines sp2)
was able to use larger drives. So I continued.
After 12+ hours the program said it was done. But I can not boot
from the new drive or see any data on it, I mounted it as slave in
another XP machine and in propertys it showed a 0 data. Also the old
drive now is failing to boot and says "data read error c-a-d to
restart"!
Any suggestions on where to go from here???
thanks
Jim
