So I played around for the past 2 days with no results. I unplugged the internal drive and ran the Hdat2 software as you suggested. I was unable to access the external drive because I did not have USB support. I backed out and ran the USB drivers, and every time I attempted this, I had no connection with my keyboard. As you would expect, no communication with the keyboard meant not being able to access the drive to repair any part of it. Should I try this link that you sent me http://hddguru.com/software/2007.07.20- ... tore-Tool/ or would you rather I wait?

Sorry for being a pain. :-)

Easiest and fast solution to work with hdat2 is to connect your hdd internally.
If your BIOS is up to date, it shouldn't be any problem.
HDD Capacity Restore Tool only worked in rare cases.
But you can try it first, because it's easy to use.
To connect your hdd internally, achieves better results.
