I just purchased a nice Maxtor IDE drive and moved everything from my old
SCSI (A Micropolis, which I was informed had a bug in the firmware that
was giving me random system crashes).  New drive would sorta make a sound
like it was spinning down, then immediately spin back up, every day or so.
Yesterday it happened about 10 times in an hour and hasn't happened since. 

Today I was spring cleanning the insides my computer and booted back up,
and now the drive seems totally blank.  I booted with my Old SCSI and it
shows no partitions with fdisk!  What can I do to resurrect the data!

Thanks,
