I have a failed IDE hard drive. It shows his size as 8GB, but the drive was a 200GB. It allows to read data from first 8 GB, but most valued data is at 10..200 GB. What does this symptom mean? How can I restore full access to drive?
I need to recover data from it, not to use it again.
I also have the same model hard drive which was produced at same time and works ok for all 200GB.
UPDATE: the failed harddrive is in ATA0 PIO0 mode only.

Harddrive give full access to first 8gb (I sucesfully mounted an 256-MB filesystem from this area), But harddrive give no access to the data with address more than 8gb (I have a partition with size 10 gb just after the first, i can mount it in 'ro', but not to access any data, which physically is at 8+gb, even
ls
of fs root have 6 i/o error fails). – osgx – 2011-06-04T22:11:29.380
