I cannot see my hard drive

deepblue7 · 07-08-2008, 12:32 AM

I have a Barracuda Hard Drive and it is on a RAID configuration with three hard disks. I can see two hard drives, but I cannot see the third hard drive. The last time I could see data on the third drive, it had 100MB left and I was going to empty up some space, but I never did and now I cannot see any of the data on that hard drive. Hope you have some suggestions how I can see the data again, because I do not want to lose any of the data on this drive.

It is on Windows 2000 Pro machine.

If it's on a RAID configuration, how are you able to see the individual drives, since all RAID setups that I've encountered are viewed by the OS as a single entity, unless of course it's been partitioned, or it's a software RAID solution which I don't think windows 2000 does.
