I'd like to know if there is a method to recover it as well. It is spun up
& running. There should be a process to repair the damage and either recover
the data on it as is, or be able to reinitialize/reformat it and use it.

    ... The problem is the slave drive,it has become corrupt to the point that it cannot be read.This has occured several times in the past with different comp.I have a theory how it got corrupt....It is not a virus or malware,I know this for a fact,my system is clean.My theory involves the USB Interface.Especially with going from USB 1 to USB 2 or vice versa.I have a external box that I have the drive in,it is a USB 2 devise,and as long as I keep it attached to a comp.that has USB 2,no problems.The problems start to occur when the external is attached to a comp. ... wants to do a check disk operation at startup,then finally the drive itself cannot be read.This does not happen over few hours, rather a few months.This last time it happened,the drive was fine till I plugged it up to another comp.When I realized that it was a USB 1 port I unplugged it,that was 7 weeks ago,now as of this morning the drive cannot be read.I almost have the 1T drive full,I really don't want to loose 3 years of work.Oh I also might add that the drive cannot be formatted by any XP means,or by any tools that I had,the last time this happened I had to send the drive off to be formatted.Even my computer guru had a very hard time formatting the drive.As I mentioned both drives are sata...but it has also happened with IDE drives.Like I said before main drive still boots normally .I know this is a bit long winded, but maybe something here will help.This is not only limited to XP,it has also happened on '98,me.,2000,and also vista. ...
