OK i have a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200 gig internal in an external USB case. It's formatted for a mac which i dont have access to at the moment, but anyways. i dropped it on tile now it makes the musical noise that all these people are talking about. ive searched far and wide on the net looking for things to fix it but no luck.
The thing is i plug it into a mac and in the disk utility program it shows up BUT it says its a 2 TERABYTE hard drive when its only 200 gigs...
I plug it into a PC and it makes the ding noise and it knows its a maxtor drive plugged in USB and i run data recovery programs about 5 of them so far, and their all saying 2 terabytes as well. what gives??? i dont even know how its registering when the disk isnt even spinning...im going to try tapping again while plugged in but can somebody please write back or email me which is my name at hotmail.com
PLEASE HELP IM ALSO A DJ WITH ABOUT 190 gigs filled up. not just music but personal things as well.
