I just purchased a nice Maxtor IDE drive and moved everything from my old SCSI (A Micropolis, which I was informed had a bug in the firmware that was giving me random system crashes). New drive would sorta make a sound like it was spinning down, then immediately spin back up, every day or so. Yesterday it happened about 10 times in an hour and hasn't happened since. Today I was spring cleanning the insides my computer and booted back up, and now the drive seems totally blank. I booted with my Old SCSI and it shows no partitions with fdisk! What can I do to resurrect the data!
