I spent hours and hours looking for answers and either running into dead ends or finding information too technical for me to understand. But perseverance paid off, I saved ALL my data! Cheers!

After I managed to salvage my data, I decided to try and format the drive. So I downloaded a free partition manager, Cute Partition Manager. This little piece of software is really Cool. It is open source, so free, no strings attached, just download, create your boot disk and partition. http://www.cutepm.com/ I ran this on a brand new HD to test it out. It worked like a charm, I could even create the partition as FAT32. So I ran it on the dead drive, found the partition, deleted it, recreated a new one, same size and then rebooted the system. I easily formated the new partition and have now salvaged a dead HD, that the tech said was Hooped! Pretty cool hey! Its interesting.
