Tts,
This drive doesn't show up in My Computer because it isn't formatted.
All I can advice, go to google and search for "data recovery" or "hard disk recovery" (including the quotes).
You'll find all kinds of companies and programs that will do this for you. Just one example: www.ontrack.com
But you'll find myriads of others.
None are free, I'm afraid.
Hope this helps.

OK . . i pulled my hard drive outta my PVR ( SRT 5290-stong technologies, )
i believe the hard drive is unformatted as it says unallocated space is 80gb, n the drive is 80gb.
But there is digital tv video files on the drive.
I have been able to access the files from a program called KAONRIPPER, which turns the video files into ones that the computer can handel.
But the drive dose not show up in MY computer, but it is in the device manager.
Is there a way i can browse/copy/paste files to and from this hard drive from mmy system
thanks
ps(never by strong products, horrible reliability)
