Maxtor 200 Go detected as 2 To

June 29th, 2007, 1:48

Hi !

I've got this hdd :
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB SATA150 8MB
SN : L40CQ9GH
TLA : 6L200M004641A

After a crash under windows xp I reboot my PC.
But my hdd was not detected by bios.
I test it with other pc and impossible to detect it.
I test with an usb adaptator and the hdd is detected as a Maxtor 2 To under windows xp.
I change the pcb but the problem is the same.

How I can recover my data.

Thanks for yours answers.

Nico

PS : Scuse for my bad English I'm french
