Gaurav,
If the drive is taking a lot of time to come up it is likely that the problem is either a degrading head or bad sectors. I would recommend that you try to clone the drive off and then try recovery software on the drive. Thanks

There’s an error within the filesystem. You need to use the recovery console and run “fixmbr” and “chkdsk”.

Sigondraon,

It is likely that the partition sector was wiped out and need to be rebuilt. You would need to know the settings for each partition in order to fix this problem. I would recommend NOT putting any data on that drive .

“use with caution” but more info seems necessary for caution to be applied.
as what to do in different scenarios, what will screw your HD, what will not. how to make sure you have the right settings to proceed.

still, thanks for the free software, and the support you give to people.

Hi,
It is very nice of you to dedicate so much time to helping others with their problems, I hope you can help me with mine. My dear sweet 2 year old daughter was kind enough to push the pretty blue power button while my computer was on and it shut down. When I started it up I got the BSOD and the “STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME” error message. The drive is a Western digital WD5001AALS with a 90 something partition that the OS is on and a 400 something partition that data is on. I hooked the drive up to my other computer and it shoes both partitions, I could copy data off of the large partition but I could not access the primary partition with the OS on it. Unfortunately there is some recent files on that partition that I would lke to recover. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks,
Robert

Dana,

If Windows is seeing the drives as partitioned but does not know the file system then this is either a problem with the file system itself or with the O/S boot record. If it is the Boot Sector then this is something I could fix with the remote service we offer, if it is the file system then I would say it would be best to try data recovery software. Something like Recover It All should work to allow you to scan the different partitions. It is likely that the only one with DATA on it is going to be the middle one (54 gig) dell has a restore partion that usually has a small part in the front of the drive that then points to the data on the end of the drive. I would focus on trying to get the middle one back and ignore the others.

I have a drive that was working fine before my Dell Ispiron hit the dreaded ac power jack issue. Rather than replace the motherboard for the 3rd time on a 6 year old box – I decided to port the data to another system. Unfortunately, when connected via a Gigawire device, it is only seen as raw data.

There are 3 partitions total, one 63 mb healthy, EISA, one 54 gb raw healthy, active, primary and one 3.5 gb healthy.

My question is will one of these utilities allow me to recover/repair the partion info and let me use this as a temporary external drive, or will I have to just try to salvage whatever data I can with a tool that reads raw space?

Oh yes, and how?

thanks,

Dana.

[...] can sniff out the old partitions & restore them. This would allow you to access your data. Try FREE NTFS Partition Repair Freeware. This would search & show you all the partitions it finds. Good [...]

Dave,

My guess would be POWER. What size is the power supply? When you run multi hard drives in a machine you need something HEFTY. When your in Windows copying from one drive to the other all resources are being used and this could cause the fail. When you use some kind of boot cd NOT all devices are being used or loaded therefore you would not see the load.

heres a new or old problem it seems. where no one has a definitive answer is there a problem is generic windows XP sp3 install cd’s that will Not allow a new 1T drive work for more than a few minutes without unmounting itself when you try and save files to it as a secondary drive say z:

the reason i ask is thats exactly whats happening to me right now, i know for a fact the drive a samsung 1T sata drive works fine as i can use a generic parted magic linux livecd mount the NTFS filesystem and copy files from my other smaller drives directly to this problem 1T internal sata drive with mc without a single problem or dismount.

the conclusion is several generic windows sp3 install cd’s have or install a bad NTFS related filesystem binary or related app that is unmouting this large 1Terbyte drive only when you try and write it , i can read these livecd mc copys files directly off this 1T drive and play the video’s perfectly, but try and write anything of reasonable size to this 1T drive within this newly installed windows SP3 will again unmount the drive and any partions on there 3 right now, every single time…..

so have anyone heard of this windows sp3 drive unmounting problem and more to the point know a real working solution to make windows sp3 write files to these massive HDs without unmounting them in the process that only a hard power down can fix to bring them back up ? there doesnt sem to be any real anser out there in google land even with good google fu skills….

im convinced theres a masive problem with windows sp 3 NTFS FS binary as a simple livecd can mount and write to the drive with NO problems whatso ever…. HELP

Few week ago when i want to format my disk, because of crash of software and i ensure and purposely only format the C drive which is the window file system. In this PC i have another hard drive, and my pc dont see this second drive. My first hard drive is ok So can i know that your product can help me recover my lost partition in the second hard drive and can show me how-to use this product?

Invalid Partition Table
This error message comes from the partition boot code. If there are no boot devices then the boot code will enter an infinite loop after this message is displayed.

Dear Author,
My brother was using the computer yesterday and he came on saying that some of the data are lost. I have 2 hard disk in my computer. And the oldest one contained Local disk drives C, D & E.
E is NOT the CD/DVD Drive. It’s a normal NTFS partition where I used to save all my data. But after what happened, I can’t find any of my data saved in that partition and can’t even open it. I tried to recover data using some data recovery software and even they do not show the disk drive E. So I couldn’t recover any. I immediately need a solution for this because all my important data was saved in this disk drive E.
When I click on it there is a pop up message indicating that the disk E is NOT formatted and I have to format it. But I didnt format because I was afraid of losing my data.
The thing is my brother Formatted the pc and re installed the operating system (which is Windows XP we’re using) after the crashing happened.
He said before it happened the processor fan didnt work and it was getting stuck time to time and after he restarted the PC all this has happened.
I need help from any one immediately.
Please………

I was using 40GB SATA HDD as additional drive and swaping it on a number of PCs. It has two partitions but no OS. It was working fine. Suddenly it stopped being detected. Although on one PC it is detected but in Disk Managemnet it is being shown as NOT initialised. I am an ordinary Home PC user. Request suggest how to fix it. It is clarified that I am not comfortable with DOS commands. Additional details: OS winXP Pro. Motherboard Intel 865. Thanks

Hi Friends,

I lost my Data

yesterday I downloaded Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation DVD.
My system has 320GB hard Disk, almost full. just 20GB left. It has XP on it. So thought of installing windows 7 on it.

Today I booted from Windows 7 installation Disk and got the screen to select the drive to install.

There were around 5 partitions in total.
C: 20GB
D,E: 100GB
F: 50GB
G:35GB

So I selected C Drive of 20GB and clicked Delete partition. Thats it. My data is gone. I could see only one drive listed there of 100GB. all the other partitions are lost. I shows as 117GB unallocated space. and one more of around 80GB. Not sure what caused this. I am a server admin and am much careful in these kind of installations. But stil I lost my data. Not sure what to do.

I rebooted my system 3 times but I stil see the same. I can neither boot into windows nor I can install 7 on my disk by creating a new partition as I will pemanently lose the data. So I thought of buying a new hard disk and installing windows 7 on it and trying to recover the data from the OLD one. I have hopes from this forum that I wil get a resolution.

The data I lost is valuable Softwares, Educational Study materials and much more.

I cannot spend many for recovery softwares. If it could have been linux i would have simply rebuilt the partition tables but here I am not sure how to..

Please please help me.
