I have a WD hard drive with Win2000 loaded on
it that is now corrupted. It spins up and
keeps spinning while the pc is running. I can
also detect it in CMOS, but when I set it as
a slave and bootup to another hard drive,
windows doesn't recognize it. The emer. repair
disk just says it's corrupted and can't be
repaired. The user was running the repair
option off of the Win2000 setup cd to try and
fix some network issues. It never booted back
up since. Is there any tricks I can try to
recover the files, I've already setup a new
hard drive in the same machine, I just need
to copy over.

Thanks
Dwain

Have you tried this in another machine? If it comes up in another machine, and you have a network, or cd burner etc.. you should be able to get the data.
