Old 1999 Fujitsu HDD failure

[Nicholas Jones]

Hi, i was wondering Why my Fujitsu MPD3064AT-EW HDD Doesnt show up in disk management or File explorer?

The head initialises fine, but the actual hard disk doesnt show up in any sort of disk wizard/manager.

Its formatted to NTFS, at 6.4gb.

please help

Does it show up in diskpart or device manager?

How do you know this? Is it possible you have a bad PATA cable or the disk controller is disabled/failed?

No, No, and No...

Ive tested the pata cable and enclosure with an old seagate barracuda 80gb, and it works just fine.

i had all the drivers for the enclosure and hard disk installed, and my pc bluescreens, and the next thing you know, the hard disk is not recognised. i dont know if that would be a product of the bluescreen or something else.

Well, I have seen failing HDD's cause bluescreens before. So it seems the drive itself is the cause.
