Hi eneles,
THANK YOU!!!! FindAndMount did the trick! Thank you so much for the link. Sorry I haven't replied for a couple of days, but I've been busy copying all my newly found files from the newly mounted partition on my corrupt disk to my backup disk. I will then change the drive letters of the partitions on the backup disk so that it looks like the normal disk.
Before I do that and finally give up on rescuing the corrupt disk, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the following idea...
The backup disk, which was identical to the normal (but corrupted) disk has the following partition structure according to "TestDisk":
If I run Test_Disk on the corrupt disk, and then let Test_Disk perform the [Quick Search], it displays the following partition structure:
I noticed that TestDisk has the ability to "Change Disk Geometry" and was wondering if I could use that to change the number of heads and number of sectors per track.
As I now have a good backup disk (although it has the wrong drive letters assigned to the partitions), I was feeling fairly comfortable in giving it a try on the corrupt disk, since the only other thing I can do with it is to re-format it and re-partition it as my "new" backup drive.
Any thoughts on this?
Once again, thanks for getting me this far - no lost data!!
