Answer 1

Well the only way your going to be able to recover it is buying like a chord like a usb to IDE and tranfering the data..i was going to say if it was a regular pc hard drive i woulda took it out and took it to another computer and recovered but you might have to just take it in to recover it or one thing you can do is put the windows xp cd in and when it asks if u want to do a clean reformat push no or just hit REPAIR the 2nd time it asks u to repair it. got any qustions? pm me on yahoo mesenger

It seems your MBR Master boot Record is corrupted you have to restore the MBR that is why your computer cannot recognize it

Download : Hirens boot CD " burn to cd and boot from it it has a lot of programs on it Listed by sections go to the appropriate section  for restoring the MBR

Use it to restore MBR
