| 847876 | 2010-01-11 23:07:00 | What says the data is there. And what do you mean the OS can't see it? How can you not see it if it's not bootable? | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 847880 | 2010-01-12 03:02:00 | Well yup you'll have to pull it out, put it in a working system. Then find a program to recover the partition | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 847881 | 2010-01-12 05:01:00 | What are you using to look at the drive that can still see the data? Is this a specialist program of some kind, or have you simply mounted the disk on another system? If you're using a specialist program, what happens if you try to look at the drive 'normally'? What filesystem(s) is the disk formatted with (e.g. NTFS, FAT32 etc), and how many partitions does it have? If you can see the files using a tool, but not when mounting the disk normally, the linux utility 'testdisk' should be able to recover the partition information for you and restore access to the files. I strongly recommend you make a backup before you try this. Finally, DO NOT write anything to the disk (except for the stuff that testdisk does); anything you write to the disk can cause further permanent damage to the data on it and may make some (or all) of your files unrecoverable. If i new the solution I wouls not have asked the question STUPIDThat was uncalled for - insulting other members won't get you anywhere, and will simply make others feel less inclined to help you - none of us are paid to do this, and you are not *entitled* to an answer. Treat other members with courtesy and they will do the same to you (and if they don't... the mods have a big hammer). |
