Broken Drive Caused By Data Recovery Software
Replies: 4 | Post Date: 10-22-2009, 05:10 PM | User: Cold Cell | Forums: hardforum.comI accidentally formatted a drive recently and used file scavenger to get the data back, copying everything it found onto another drive plugged into a dock. After rebooting or hotplugging the drive back into the dock it makes my computer freeze up. On reboots windows xp just hangs after the splash screen. I'm assuming i copied boot sector files or something on to the drive that i shouldn't have. Everything is accessible on the drive when i plug it into my laptop running os x, but as soon as any windows install sees the disc it either freezes up or bluescreens. Is there any way to delete the offending files and fix the disc? The only system files i see in os x is a folder "system volume information", none of the $ type files i saw when first scanning with file scavenger.

There are files on it i would very much like to get back, does anyone have any good experience with data recovery labs they can recommend and about how much is cost? Its only a 512mb memorex memory stick.

Recovery Of Hard Drive Data
I need help to retrieve the data from my western digital hard drive (40g). Last week my power supply burnt and damaged my mother board. So i tested with another existing system unit with my wd hard drive, it hang in the bios stage after the memory test finish. Cannot do anything. Is it the hard drive problem? May i know anyone can tell me how can i recover my data inside this bad hard drive? I need to recover my data since wd technical support only can give me a replacement of hard drive. I heard a lot of information about freezing the hard drive but i dont dare to do it cos i am afraid it will lead to totally un-recovery stage. I have a lot of useful information and some financial excel format that is shared with my roommate.

Data Recovery Of A Hard Drive Partition In Two
My drive is partition into 2. A drive c for my xp systems and a d for files. Windows xp doesnt work anymore on the c drive partition and all it does is just keep on going to the windows screen and then restart and will not get pass it. I have installed a second sata drive in my pc and installed xp on it. Now when i connect both drives in my pc including the faulty one, it just does the same thing again with the restarts looping and will not load the working xp thats loaded onto my other sata drive. Is that because they both have the c drive letter on both of them and the xp operating systems?
Is there any way of telling the pc to load the second sata drive with the working xp and disregard the faulty one with a c drive letter partition. All i want is for the pc to see the faulty drive as just another drive with files in there and an xp operating system in there. I am thinking of just getting a usb sata external case tomorrow and put the faulty sata drive in there and connect it to my pc hoping it will not recognise the c drive letter and operating system in there and just copy the files from it.

Hard Drive Problem - Data Recovery
I got a harddrive here that's running windows 98 and while you try and boot in it's just fatal error after fatal error. . Vxd's .dlls, mass blue screens and just ends in a freeze up eventually. I'd give the names of the files thats giving errors but it's literally different ones every time. I tried to get into the os from safe mode and it returned a himem.sys error. I figured the ram might be bad but it's good so i copied himem.sys from the 98 cd into windows directory in dos, but still getting the same error. I'm at a loss for what to do now and suppose the only thing i can do is try and recover the data and wipe the harddrive. I was wondering if perhaps i could connect the harddrive to my windows xp machine and salvage the data through there or if anyone has tips on how i could go about this i'd be most thankful.

New Installation Hard Drive Data Recovery
Here's the situation:
1. Had a pc with a motherboard that crashed. 2. Pc had 400 gig hard drive of which 380 gigs of data was used leaving 20 gigs remaining. 3. Replaced the motherboard and installed a new windows partition in the remaining 20 gigs of data. 4. Windows runs and everything works fine. However:
1. Old partition 'c:' says it's corrupted. New partition 'e:' says it has around 400 gigs free. 2. Even though 'c:' should contain 380 gigs of data and 'e:' should only contain the remaining 20 gigs. How do i recover my data?

Data Recovery - Vista
My ibm ideapad woke up with "missing/corrupt bootmgr". Not good i know, but anyways i was just gonna back up my data and give it a fresh install and everything would be better. Right. No that would be too much to ask from ms. My normal means of data backup in this situation would be to just plug hdd into another computer and copy it off. However when i plug in the drive all the data seems to be hidden. From what i figure probably a vista security. How do i get the data off? The hdd with the data was vista and i'm using an xp desktop to get the data. I see the hdd fine. Just can't access the data. Does anyone know how?
I tried using a data recovery.couldn't think of anything better. Again i can see the data just don't have permission to access it.

Data Recovery Programs / Options
Basically i rent a dedicated server from a data center and my cheap self never got the weekly/daily backup plan and one of the hard drives may have gone bad/corrupted. So they are going to load a new primary and set the old primary as a secondary to see if i can possibly recover any of the data. The server is running centos5; are there any remote type data recovery programs that can be used in a case like this? I was also told that if that fails to work out, they'll send me the physical hard drive and i can do data recovery that way. I have never done any kind of data recovery on a hard drive before, so what am i getting into? Can i not send the hard drive to some place that will recover the data for me, put it on another hard drive/dvds/other media and send the information back to me?
If this were you, what would you do?

Data Recovery Attempt Using Test Disk
I am attempting to restore lost data from an 80gb hard drive. Since i don't really want to deal with the lost data right now, i'd rather just image the drive and store it on my 350gb hard drive. I used the dd command to duplicate the drive to 80gb. Iso. Strangely, i get different results between the drives when using testdisk. On the physical drive, testdisk finds several lost partitions. On 80gb. Iso it only finds a few. What explains the difference between these results? I am worried that the image of the hard drive won't be as good as the original.

Ide To Usb 2.0 Cable For Data Recovery
I've encountered quite the problem. I have an old ide drive that i need to get data off of, so i hooked it up to one of those ide to usb 2. 0 adapters. I've connected all the hardware, windows 7 recognizes that there is something new plugged in and installs a generic usb storage device driver. The drive even shows up in the disk manager. The problem appears when i try to initialize the disk - when i attempt to do so, i receive an error message that says that the device is not ready. At first i thought it might be a jumper setting - the drive was originally set to cable select. I removed the jumper so it would then be set to slave. But this didn't work. I also tried unplugging the drive, uninstalling the generic usb driver, restarting, and plugging the drive back in. But that didn't work either. So. Thoughts?
System specs:
Win 7 ultimate x64
Intel dp55wb
Core i5 750

Hang On Post Caused By Drive
I have a foxconn 945gz7mc ks2h board and two sata drives attached (1x320gb samsung, 1x 1tb seagate). I've thrown freenas on there and all was going well; until i setup my 1tb drive. I formatted it to the ufs filesystem from within freenas. I managed to move files over and play with it for a little bit. Ever since then; no matter what i do the system will not get past post if that drive is connected. I've tried taking the drive out, put it in another machine; it works fine - i even restored it back to an ntfs drive and it still hung at post on the other board. I'm at a loss - does anyone have any ideas?

Hard Drive Problem Caused By Electricity Failure
My hard drive partition was in the middle of being resized, when the electricity went out. Needless to say, i could not log back on to the windows installation on that hard drive. I logged on to another windows installation on another hard drive to try to access the data on the corrupted hard drive. The drive gets detected, but i can't access the data, with a prompt requiring the drive to be formatted. The hard drive is physically intact btw. Now the question is. Will i be able to access the data if i purchase an external hdd enclosure? Or just a sata to usb adapter? I really need to access this hard drive with 320gb of valuable data.

Hard Drive Recovery Possible ?
My seagate 1. 5tb 7200. 11 seems to have died quickly, and before i realized what was going on the drive is only detected in the bios, and trying to access anything just gives me io errors. Is there anything else i could try? I have it backed up with the exception of 10gb or so of new data that wasn't caught by the nightly backup. I suppose the only other method would be to replace the controller. I did try the freezer trick for about 8 hours but it didn't seem to help.

Truecrypt Drive Recovery With Password
I've recently been experimenting with duel boot (xppro, ubuntu) and i foolishly failed to removed my truecrypt fully encrypted drive and it's mirror. When the dust settled i discovered that truecrypt would no longer mount either drive. Windows xp service pack two sees one drive as unformatted, and another as a 128 gb volume, which it is not, they are both 300gb drives. In case all my efforts to recover either volume fail my question becomes this. Is there a service or technique that would allow me to recover the data if i could provide the encryption scheme and passphrase?
As an american i am told to be paranoid that anything can be cracked. The truecrypt forums are a draconian joke and frankly even if it weren't under populated i have high hopes that a greater level of skill can be found here anyway as this place is the top computer specific response from google when given "cryptography forum".

Recovery - Usb Flash Drive
Have a usb thumb drive. Was using a mac yesterday, saving, copying, and using multiple files from my flash drive. At the end of the day, i went to open a file and realized that two entire (and fairly important) folders were missing, as were several more recent files-some from the same day. Now my drive reads as though it has more space available than it should. I keep seeing all these scams and $50 services to recover lost files from flash memory. Anyone know of any reliable free-ware or techniques i could use to get my files back?

If you have answers for getting a recovery disc do tell. I'm all ears. I would love to recover it to factory specs. Anyway like i said i have installed my copy of xp on the larger portion of the drive and just want to salvage the additional space. How?

Hard Drive Recovery Process With Mechanical Failures
Unfortunately, i have to recover data and my backup hard drive is failing. It's a mechanical failure - lots of clicks and some high-pitched squeals. Looked into hard drive recovery options and it seems like they all want to charge me hundreds or thousands of dollars. Does anybody know of a reasonably reliable hard drive recovery process that can deal with mechanical failures but at a reasonable price?

Dvd Rom Drive, Flash Hard Drive Slowing Data Transfer Speed
Issue a: when i put a cd/dvd into my dvd, the system (my computer/properties) recognizes the hardware, but it will not play. (Drive letter "d". )
Issue b: my computer will not recognize my data (flash?) Cards from my digital camcorder/camera. Issue c: my computer's hard drive (drive letter "c") once accepted my firewire uplink (1333). Now, my nle (pinnacle studio 9 plus) give the error message "drive c is not capable of capturing dv data", meaning it's date transfer rate is too slow. How can i fix these issues? Do i have to buy a new hard drive?
