Worth a try as I've got a HDD that can be used as a storage drive but not used as a boot up drive. (if its in machine on its own its invisible in the bios, but if its with a HDD with an operating system on it I can use it)If you can put it in another PC thats already setup with windoze etc., then maybee you can copy the data to the other machine?

My data was backed up on the 2nd drive, though my emails i totaly forgot about aswell as my emails...

Have also tried connecting this drive to another machine, and it is not being reconised...

Will give SpinRite a try...
