Lau Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) @ sqzdogAccess your data with this tool Run TimeHas worked for me, more than once.Just make sure you don´t write to that drive, easy solution is to run it as an external drive.

sqzdog Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) I'll do that. Just a quick note, I have an external USB enclosure but when I hook it up my computer doesn't detect the drive. I checked it with another drive and it worked so it is something with this HD. Also, there are several softwares on the site link you gave me. Which one do I use?

Lau Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 @ sqzdogOops, was too fast, depends if your drive are FAT or NTFS Read Hints.It´s named "Data Recovery" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Other than trying one of the many data recovery apps out there, I'm running out of ideas.I've recently tested a lot of data recovery tools, and the best is R-Studio Corporate v3.0. I believe DigeratiPrime would also agree).Just to pain you a picture:I had Star Trek TNG seasons I downloaded, burnt, and deleted off my HD months and months ago. Since then I reformatted, full and about half a dozen quick formats. I also restored my drive with an Acronis image several times. Copied, extracted, deleted, defragmented dozens and hundreds of times, you name it.Even still, R-Studio recovered about 2 seasons of my downloaded TV show, as well as 820 MBs of other thngs.Other very good ones are:Runtime GetDataBackFinalData Enterprise v2.0FormatRecovery Edited July 14, 2006 by Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmshah Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Firts try setting it as master & attach it to the secondary ide channel. Make sure the disk is visible in your bios & shows full capacity.All partitions should be directly visible & accessible. The drive letters are likely to change as c: partition of this disk just might show up as d: under windows. If this fails only solution would be to set it as master in an external usb drive casing. All partitions should be visible. I would not try any disk recovery software before above methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
