Hard drive crash but can see folders

I have a friends HD which won't start but I can see the folders and files as a "slave" drive but "Properties says there is "0" under size and I can't get into the folders.

Is it "toast"? Any ideas to get some data off the drive?

Hi,

We need to know much more.

When did it first not start?

Did you boot on a floppy while it was in the original box?

Win98, FAT32, Quantun Fireball CX.

Was clicking. Now I can't even see it as slave.

Not able to see it in dos. fdisk doesn't work trying to run it as master.

Hi,

If it's clicking, things are bad.

Try to get the utility from Quantum.
