| 426026 | 2006-02-01 11:00:00 | hello all, on the date 08 jan. 2006 in the afternoon I had a unexpected message onto my display, HDD corrupte (maxtor IDE). I have one SATA WD160G (with 3 partition, first one with windows system) and one IDE Maxtor 80G. The message corruption was about my IDE HDD (the slave one). Ok, I restarted and checked the power supply, the response was same... I did it again...and same, I did it again without IDE and no problem with SATA. I put back the IDE and no more booting PC. No video signal, just power supply for modules... No problem I gave motherboard back to service and it was changed. Now with the new motherboard I see my IDE HDD corrupted and the 3rd partition from SATA unformated. I hate this, because most of my documents was on that partition. After 2 days later one of my friend which was connected with me in LAN called me to give me the bad news, he saw unformated partition too. Now trying to recover files, the corrupted HDD (IDE) about 95% recovered very well, but the unformated partition from HDD (SATA) recovered just 5% most of all recovered files corrupted and unusable. Do you have any solution for recovering my data? I didn't used my faulty partition and HDD from that moment. I suspect a virus. What was happen really? thank you, Antonio1 |

| 426027 | 2006-02-01 20:24:00 | Are you actually sure your hard drives aren't defective? Have you run the manufacturer tools to test? I have a WD hard drive at the moment and to me it is failing (not surprise) and I'm seeing corrupt files. I recovered most files by using Knoppix to read the NTFS partition .. it got real slow at reading in some areas but still got the files (Windows would just lockup). GetbackData for NTFS is another (windows) tool I've used to try and recover. No backup?? I suspect hard drive brands to avoid ... rather than a virus... Data recovery software has been covered many times before on PressF1 - try a search. |
