If you have yet to enjoy the experience of a 500GB+ drive suddenly reducing its self to 32MB and refusing to be read, you are missing out.  It is caused by a random corruption of the LBA48, HPA and DCO records which reside in that part of the HDD you can not get at, that part of the drive which many people get very upset about.  It was the cause of an attempted class action suit from users who decided not having access to the full capacity of the drive was some sort of false advertising and was also the reason that gibblebytes and other bizarre names were bandied around for a while.

PC Stats can not solve the latter case of the missing bytes, but they can solve the first.   Drop by for a step by step look at how to get your drive back.  Like any data recovery, there is a chance of losing the data on the drive, so do be careful.

“The sudden loss of factory hard drive capacity seems to be a common occurrence with very large capacity hard drives. Here’s what typically happens; a large capacity hard drive of between 500GB, 750GB, 1TB and 1.5TB suddenly appears to loose most of its capacity for no apparent reason. In many situations the hard drive shrinks to 32MB and becomes inaccessible to the Windows Vista. Rest assured, in this Guide PCSTATS will tell you how to easily fix this bug and reclaim the full factory capacity of your hard drive.”
