Hi,

I'm looking for a software to fix my old IDE 120G hard drive.

I have this hard drive that doesnt not show up under windows but it appears under dos. When I start windows, the system is really slow with that disk on. Its nearly impossible to do anything under windows. So I guess I'm looking for a program that boots from a CD and can scan the drive and possibly fix it. I knew this guy that would use a Linux boot disk to do that and it seems effective.

I have active tried partition recovery on dos but I could not find the way to FIX the problem.

I'm 100% sure I did that in the past with some pseudo windows interface on a boot dick and it worked very well but I just cant recall the name damnit.

Have been searching the net and tried various tools for 3 days now and the more it goes, the more I'm getting confused!!!

Any input is welcome.

Thanks a dozen.
