Hi, problem like described in subject.
HDD visible in BIOS but cannot be visible in OS (Win XP)

I tried to checki it in VICTORIA and HDTune255 and I can find disk but only 8GB!
VICTORIA message

Get SMART command... Error reading SMART!

Checked on two PC and same results. I only want to collect data from it.
Next I tried MHDD:

You likely have a firmware issue, but a professional diagnostic is best if data is of the outmost importance.

You can always use the search button, it's there for purpose :wink:
Seagate and 0Mb is a well discussed topic.

This is firmware in reference to the "programming code" if you will that operates the drive.
