How to access and retrieve data from HDD ?

[Caden]

I had an old PII 350MHz and the hard drive crashed yesterday before I could transfer my data to my new PC. It does boot on the disc So I started with another hard drive I had and on which there is windows2000.

The problem is that the disc appears damaged in the Bios (Maxtor) but said "0 MB". I can not see it in windows

an idea so that I may access and retrieve my data?

I think there is no way to recover data some some one will be able to retrieve data but it will cost you most.

You can try to put through an external box external hard drive but it is not guaranteed that its going to work.

Try to access the drive in DOS mode using DOS boot CD.

How old is the drive ?
