I think I would install it as a slave and format it first.

I agree with the previous message. If you are able to, do a reformat. You never know where the drive will end up. It could be resold as seconds.

Hi,
Do you want to try to save the data or wipe it completely so that there is little chance to recover the data? Just because a drive won't boot it doesn't mean that it is totally gone. You can add it as a slave then use Windows Explorer to copy over the data. or if the drive is corrupt then try http://www.handyrecovery.com After that, if you still want to wipe it then I would suggest downloading the HDD Manufacturers Disk Tools and performing a Write Zero or Low-Level Format. |

You have formatted the drive that had the pics on?
It would be hard to get the data now. You could try this http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/...88&postcount=8 |
