SATA hard drive problem

Asked by Provident_Dgitial in Microsoft Hardware, Personal Computers, Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: SATA, hard drive, free space, disk manager

I have a 128GB SATA hard drive. I ran TuneUp Utilities 2010 thorough drive analysis. This ran all night. When I checked it in the morning, there was some message about a Windows system file missing and to try using the XP CD repair option. When I tried that, it told me no hard drive is present. In both boot CD and BIOS, the drive is detected. No physical errors were reported when I did different scans. So I installed a spare IDE hard drive and got into Windows XP. I checked Disk Manager. The 128 GB drive is there. It is showing Healthy and 128 GB in the lower portion of the window. However, in the upper portion it is showing only 10 MB with 10 MB free. Can anyone help? I just need to try to recover the data on it at least.
