Good stuff to ster clear of if you can.

They're Maxtor hard drives so I believe I used the
MaxBlast software.

Fdisk says that the second hard drive contains a non-DOS

type
partition.

That typically happens when a third-party BIOS overlay

program is used
to allow access to a hard drive that is larger than what

the computer
can actually support.

Were you using any such software on the old hard drive

(the one that
died)? Common names for this include MaxBlast, EZDrive,

and Disk
Manager and they usually announce themselves during the

boot process,
just before the Windows startup splash screen appears.
