running 2 x Seagate ST380021A 80gb drives and they've been
fine until a couple of weeks ago when the second one
(bought a few months after the first and is on Secondary
Master with no operating system) when I went to access it
via explorer it popped up an error message box with
"D:\ is not accessible. The wrong diskette is in the
drive. Insert (volume serial number:) into drive D:\"
I've been able to access the information on the drive with
various file recovery programs but I'd prefer to get the
drive working again rather than transfer nearly 80gb off
it. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Fez, did you try a different Ribbon cable? Go into Device Manager and
uninstall the Secondary Ide Channel. Let WinXP
reinstall it. While you there uninstall the Secondary Hard drive. Did you
run a diagnostic utility from Seagate?
