Hi members!
I have my computer (W2000) which died (motherboard and graphics card). I would like to recover data from my 2 hard drives. For the 1st, no problems: I connected my HDD to another PC with W 2000 and I can read it without my adp problems, but for the second .... but when I click on the disc, it asks me if I want to format it. it is an IBM which at 10 years of 100 G ° shared in 2. When I launch TestDisk, I have the following line:
Disc / dev / sdc 33 Gb / 31 GiB
The problems are the following: why sdc and not sdb or sda like the other DD?
it only recognizes 33 Gb but the mythdhr disk makes 100!
I think on the other hand, given its age, that it must be formatted originally in FAT16 ...
Thanks in advance.

Re: How to Recover DD data
You need Windows 2000 SP4 (maybe SP3 is enough) to handle disk over 130 GB.
