HDD Not Detected in BIOS after Rebuild BS
Posted: 23 May 2012, 16:39
Hi,
I have a drive which contains 2 partitions, each with an operating system (Vista & XP). Windows reported some errors with the MFT and BS which was preventing me from accessing any of the data.
I attached this hard drive (WD Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB) to another Win XP system to perform the testdisk functions. Initially testdisk found the drive and was able to list the files/folders.
First, I ran repair MFT, but it could not repair it. I then ran rebuild BS which took about half an hour. After this, the hard drive is no longer detected in the bios. I've tried it in another computer which also doesn't detect it in the bios.
Is there anything I can do to reverse what I've done?
Thanks.
