Need to repair a 40 gig or 38204MB NTFS partition. All my drives are set up with partition magic like this. SH 1 SS 1 SC0 NTFS EH 254 ES 63 EC 1023 Sectors 63
and Total Sectors ? So on a 40 gig – what would be the total sector amount to enter?

Dick,
You Rock!
I am an old DOS 3.3 dude also but for the last 10 years have gone totally Hardware and have lost all the TRICKS of the trade! I just recently had a VISTA (Groan) system loose the Boot Sector/Partition. Your little article tickled my synapsis and i remember some of what you taught. Unfortunately i have to go out of town for another week before I can put much of this to use but am stoked!
I do have an old Bart PE CD but need to make a new one as I have a few apps to add like your FREE Partition repair! My system has two 500G Western Digital HDD’s formatted with NTFS and I am hating it that it crashed the night before I leave! Ugh. I was able to manually get some data but really want to be able to boot that system again!
Your instruction and app will make that happen!
I will be reading all week to learn some good stuff! Heck without the software the Hardware is just a paper weight!
Thank you!

Craig,

Did you do an upgrade to WIndows 7? Did it work prior to this? What programs did you use and what were the results? We can probably remote into your system and repair this for under $100. This page has more info on our remote data recovery.

I had tried something like 5 recovery programs, finally giving up. A friend suggested Recover It All, and I tried that to no avail. I started to do some online searches into how to recover my data from a failed HD. I came upon this website, which finally ended my journey. Your free program helped me 100%. I am now copying all my data to a safe location. I am not sure how it worked, but it worked! Thanks so much!

Hi Dick,
I have a 500GB portable hard drive connected via USB. Only one partition was on the drive and I had used about 300GB of the space. My system sees the drive but, when I try to access it, I get a message telling me that “The disk structure is corrupt and unreadable.” I assume that my partition table has been corrupted or deleted. When I try using data recovery software (like the Easus DRW product), it sees 15 folders and many thousands of files but is taking forever to recover. I tried installing your free tool to recover the partition table, and it too sees the drive, but I don’t know what entries to use in the table, so I can push the “write” button to execute.

Thanks!! It worked like a charm! recovered my drive letter and all 80gigs of data I thought lost… I had a slave drive that had thousands of drivers that I accumulate when I fix or set up friends/customers computers, and also dozens of images of cd’s, systems. Was workig one day then the next, no drive letter and winxp disk management showed no partition, unallocated… When I ran this program it showed no parameters for this drive… 0’s accross the board.. I just googled the model number + specifications and used those numbers to input into this program and rebooted and viola!! Same drive letter and all data there and available… doing a backup as I type this… WHEW!! Scared the bleep out of me. Nothing like this has ever happened to me and I got real lazy with backing up… NEVER again… So I thank you for the free program and as soon as I have some spare funds I WILL come here an buy SOMETHING…

This is the scenario:
1) I have an external HDD (simpledrive 250KG), its HDD is wroken
2) IMy desktop PC has a second HDD 160GB, it was working fine. It has 4 partitions.
3) I take off the 160 GB HDD from the destop PC and replace the 250GB HDD of the external drive

I did all alone, without any help, I was proud of myself !!!!. But of course something wrong happend …..

4) After turned on the external drive a got a message (don’t remember it), it ask me
to partition the 160GB HDD.

I answer YES. After this a got a message to format the HDD, of course I didn’t format it.

5) Trying to solve the problem, I re-instaledl the HDD on the desktop PC and also get a message to format the HDD

The question.
What should I do ?

Thank you very much for teh NTFS Partition Repair Data Recovery Software.

I was able to get back a Western Digital drive that I’d stupidly deleted the partition from, since my PC would never boot up unless is was plugged into the USB port.
Anyway, deleting the partition in Disk Management made it so I could not get to the files. Now I can do my backups again and all is well. Thanks again!

I have a WD Passport Elite external HDD which was recently connected to my laptop. While the laptop was shutting down, and installing MS updates, my youngest unplugged it. Being helpful, his sitter plugged it back in and told me “some kind of error message popped up”. Now the drive is non-responsive, Windows doesn’t recongnize it and the recovery software I’ve tried to use says my 500 GB drive is now a 2199 GB drive.

I’m a DJ and had my music library on the drive along with other files that have disappeared into the ether. Any suggestions on resurrecting the drive?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Best Regards,
Bill Brado

I was using a video editing software that was reading/writing to my external disk (put a internal in a enclosure). I lost power and when I got everything back, I saw my drive listed in windows explorer. However, the drive name is lost. When I click on it, it says the file system is corrupted or damaged. When I drive chkdsk, it says direct access is not possible.

I am sure the files are intact, just my directory listing is damaged. Will this software fix this scenario too?

Thanks

I had an ex-b/f put a second partition on my computer so he could monitor my moves as well as hide his own… How do i change everything to make it back to its original factory state? I am only a user not the administrator, its currently on ntfs system with self installing files… Any help would be greatly appreciated….

David, This is a very common problem. You can either run our software Recover It All which has a demo version on that page. Or we could remote in and restore your files that way. Most cases like this are under $100, learn more here: fast data recovery

Weird Problem:
I was running my PC, just fine then realized my CPU was pumping at 190deg F, for a while the computer would boggle up and just not do anything and then a couple of seconds later it would just pick back up where it left off. I was in the process of doing a Disc Cleanup and had to cancel to do a reboot. I turned my PC back on and my computer started rebooting for no reason. I tried using safemode but it still would not boot. Then i tried using the option of rebooting with last known configuration and the computer would finally get to the load screen. But would stop within a couple of seconds and reboot. I then hooked up my drive to my friends computer as a slave, and the computer is showing the slave as unformatted and there is no space being used. 74g free with 74g max. I figured there might be a partition issue so i recovered the partition with the tool. No change. For a while i thought well maybe it was because the CPU was so hot it caused problems, but now being my friends computer is in perfect shape, there has to be something wrong with the harddrive. I could use a data transfer program and get my data back, but i am still curious as to what happened with the drive.
Now when i pull up properties on the drive, it shows 0/0 free and used space. using Computer Managment and Disk Managment the drive is showing Max 74/Free 74 space, and the drive is set to active. i cannot access anything in the drive because the computer is telling me the drive is not formatted but i know it is.
Im worried, i have done my best in trying to explain the details so you can better understand what is going on. Thankyou

Darian and Othello,

The probelm you are going to run in to is that you will need the exact size or sizes of the paritions that were deleted. I have a walkthrough on the blog with the #’s you need to punch into our software to write down the partition information.

How To Replace Partition on a single partition hard drive

Write down any settings that are there BEFORE you change anything, that way if it doesnt work at least you can put it back the way it was.

00:40 hr is my mistake event, and I was exhausted at the time.
Hundreds of OS installs on all kinds of boxes and over networks; and this one time I thought I was looking at a 2ndary factory partition, after cherry picking files and bkng up to my 250GB USB Seagate. Clicked it into the void life? I think so. I am moving on and hope find out if your app will recover the partition. I will let you know

I did a very stupid thing, I was in process of re-install windows XP pro to my laptop and forgot I had my external drive still connected. Of course I was doing this at 3AM and was not clear int the head. My problem is when ask to delete the partition I did, but deleted my external drive and not my laptop one, good new I think is that I did not format. I have about 300G of information that I need to recover. Anyway I can restore the partition and keep my data. I’m just getting back to work too so a free or very cheap solution would be nice.

I had windows corruption and try to do recovery with -R option after booting from CD but no joy. I installed windows in anoter directory ie c:\window and now from the bootloader i can go to the windows i installed but not to the previous version.
I have data on it and want to recover. The partition shows healthy but I cannot assign a drive letter or enable it.

When I boot again now from CD and with -R optioon and with utilities both partition shows good and healthy

How can I recover my previous windows XP and recover the data.

Thanks in advance.
