Hello everyone,
Here's the story. After having audio problem with soundstorm, I decided to clean install winxp w/ sp1 with APIC disabled in bios (as suggested by many others). After doing so, one of my four hard drives doesn't work anymore.
Disk 0: Dynamic Volume 120 GB Maxtor (online and healthy)
Disk 1: Basic Volume 100 GB WD (online and healthy)
Disk 2: Basic Volume 60 GB WD (online and healthy) <--winxp installed on this disk
Disk 3: Dynamic Volume 160 GB Maxtor (online and failed)
When I tried to import the foreign disk #3 in Windows Disk Management, it gave me this error: "Some of the volumes you are importing have stale data since you have not moved all of your disks to this system. Are you sure you want to continue?" I clicked yes and saw the failed status. I tried to reactivate the drive but no avail. Everything was working fine prior to the reinstallation of winxp. I have no clue what's going on. Can someone please help me. I have a lot if important data on this drive and would go thru any suggestions in getting the drive to work again. Thank you in advance.
Computer specs:
Barton 2500+ @ 3200+
Asus a7n8x deluxe 2.0 bios 1005
2x 512MB Buffallo pc3200
