I am in need of some professional help. I have a DiamondMax Plus 8 20GB hard drive like everyone else here it was working perfectly. I disconnected it to move drives around. I then reconnected it and the bios detects it but in windows nothing sees the drive, also in linux a fdisk /dev/hda displays unable to read HDD. I have tried different settings/jumpers (like slave,master,cs) nothing seams to help. I am hoping there is a way to fix this hdd like put a firmware file back into the drive or something like that? I do usually keep a backup image of the drive but somehow this one i think got deleted awhile back and i did not get back to backing it up.
Thanks again
any help is appricated.

Steven.

Hello,

The BIOS shows NAR61xxZ or N40P right?

In this case, the SA is damaged, and you need special HW-SW complex to fix this.
If you seek for pro near you this case should be cheap at this point.

(check your PM)
