Thanks for the quick response
HDD is a Seagate - internal not external.
Have amanged to get it to detect in Windows Device Manager - but unable to
load volume - file system is RAW in the Logical Disk Management tool.
I ran GetDataBack (GDB) from Runtime Software - this shows that the data is
still on the drive - biggest problem if I decide to do a restore using GDB is
that I don't have enough disk storgae elsewhere to restore to so
..............?
Not sure if rebuilding the MBR would be enough or if this might cause more
issues (???)
Thanks in advance for other suggestions.
