Thanks for the reply. Some things I've tried since my last post: I've taken the drive and placed it in a computer as a primary drive. The computer did not start windows and reported a fatal error. It has some kind of Compaq boot sequence jazz trying to start the system. The computer is NOT a Compaq.
I used an emergency boot disk to try to look at the drive. Running scandisk gave no report of errors. I did a surface scan as well. I used FDISK to look at the partition. It shows a partition as NON-DOS. Somehow in all of this I believe the MBR is corrupt because everything shows that data is there, you just can't get to it.
Pardon my rambling, this is what I've tried so far.
Thanks again!
