Hello there.

We have a hard drive here at work that needs to be sent to a data recovery specialist.

I have booted into Spinrite and have "recovered" everything.

However, although the bios/OS recognises the disk, it isn't assigning it a size and just wants to format it when I try to access it.

Is there any way for me to sort it out? I have tried fixmbr but Windows refuses to log on to the drive in the command prompt.

Thanks a lot.
