allen2 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'll try r-studio or acronis disk director if there was another kind of partition before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 getdataback works really well i would try that first, you could also try booting in a BartPe if you have one and getting the info there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can do read and write, but none of the enhanced features are supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Most probably you simply have a corrupted MBR partition entry on that disk.You can try AFTER having backed up the mbr with a tool like MBRFIX or MBRWIZARD,links:http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.neteither command line or with my pseudo-GUI or with this other AutoIt one:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10684http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10956http://mbrwizard.tripod.com/Use beeblebrox:http://students.cs.byu.edu/~codyb/To change the partition type from 42 to the ID that it was before, i.e. 07 for NTFS, 06 for primary FAT16, etc, reference here:http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html42 Windows 2000 dynamic extended partition markerIf a partition table entry of type 0x42 is present in the legacy partition table, then W2K ignores the legacy partition table and uses a proprietary partition table and a proprietary partitioning scheme (LDM or DDM). As the Microsoft KnowledgeBase writes: Pure dynamic disks (those not containing any hard-linked partitions) have only a single partition table entry (type 42) to define the entire disk. Dynamic disks store their volume configuration in a database located in a 1-MB private region at the end of each dynamic disk.If the above does not work, RESTORE the MBR and try using testdisk on the HD:http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDiskjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
