aussiecanuck46 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 In my experience a tool called Spinrite might be useful. It runs from a diskette using FreeDOS. Spinrite can correct a large number of disk errors and recover data that might otherwise have been lost. If nothing else, it will tell you if your hard disk is correctable or not.

jaclaz Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Most probably it will be enough to recover the MBR and Partition Tables,read these:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=59145http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30378&st=30jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmX.Memnoch Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What does disk management show? Does it show it as a valid disk? You may just need to assign a drive letter. I've had this happen with external USB drives when moved from one system to another...it recognizes the drive in every way but doesn't assign a drive letter.I know this happened after a PSU died...but sometimes it's the simplest thing.

jaclaz Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) The fact that TESTDISK lets you see the files, does not mean that everything is OK.If TESTDISK did not report any error, assigning a drive letter can be the solution.If TESTDISK reported errors, you should read the docs and repair those errors with TESTDISK.jaclaz Edited February 25, 2006 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
