The same thing happens with the Panasonic DVR model DMR-E85H 120GB hard drive. I know because I thought that I could back-up my movies before sending it in for repair. There are a lot of people on this website trying to figre out how to access the data on their hard drives and if anyone can get their OS to recognize the drive they will be able to help a lot of people, so I wish you and the rest of us good luck.

As ddp suggested, if you can grab a boot floppy to get into DOS straight from the BIOS, you can theoretically format the drive there, and the partition should appear in windows. use the fdisk utility to do this.
