My mom is getting a "disk read error" on her computer so I ripped the HDD out and booted it with my computer and still received (different cable used) the same error. So I booted into windows using another HDD and used the one showing the error as a back up. When Windows starts it says that it has to check for "consistency" and runs a disk check. In BIOS it shows the disk, but in Windows I cannot get the HDD to show (disk management). I am thinking I need to do a zero out (and clear the MBR) and reinstall Windows.
I just want to confirm. I would like to recover the data before I do this but haven't a clue how.
Thanks.
