[QUOTE="zCexVe, post: 417053, member: 3878"] Hey guyz I hav two Maxtor Fireball 3 ATA 133 series 40GB HDDs.Both HDDs r died ones and combining other circuits I fixed them to work fine. When I used the Maxtors HDD utility[ :angry::angry::angry:]to clear SMART status and low level format It worked sumtime gave an timeout error and stopped.:(:( So now there r no partition tables(RPT) or MBRs.Now BIOS gives a messege that HDD failed but it recognizes the HDD well and windows too recognize it.But the prob is u cant format a logical drive and primary partition because of partition table errors.Can make partitions though. Now I want to make them usable.I think a low level format will do the trick .Or any other program that can remake partition table and MBR.Anyone knw how to troubleshoot this error or a soft to Low level format Pls help me..................................... [COLOR=Red]Never use that maxtor software..It sux..[I used the one which came with Hirens boot CD 8.4][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
