Installing an Old Harddrive?
I recently installed an old Maxtor 7120AT into my AMD 2800+ machine running
Win XP. The machine correctly identifies the Maxtor drive as a slave, and mounts it on the file system as drive F:. The control panel reports this device as a "Maxtor 7120 AT". When I open the F drive in Windows, the drive is reported as having a capacity of 123 MB (correct), 8 MB free (seems correct) and FAT (it was running Windows 3.11). However, no files can be found on the drive when exploring from Windows. The directory of F: from the command line: F:\dir Volume in drive F has no label. Volume Serial Number is 1D91-5DCC Directory of F:\ 05/31/1994 06:22 AM 54,645 COMMAND.COM 1 File(s) 54,645 bytes 0 Dir(s) 8,513,536 bytes free Any ideas as to what I can do to troubleshoot this? I'd like to think that someone on this drive there are over 100 MB of files to find, other than command.com Thanks. |
