Help :(
Hello, this has happened to me before but I thought it was the controller on the HDD. So I got it replaced and it all seemed fine. Cleaned my PC out today and unpluged it and pluged all back in etc. Ands its done this.
Notice how the new partition its made is exactly the same size as my windows drive. Aparently it could be my mobo controller. I don't care at this point as it only apears to happen when I unplug HDD :S You guys know of ways that I could get my stuff back ETC? And maybe your opinions ? Cheers  PS No I'm not some n00b who handling it with his sweaty hands etc lol. This has been taken out carfuly by the edges and placed in a static proof bag. |

You need great care here ...
do you have SP1 or SP2 installed. otherwise you'll be limited to 137GB it is possible that you have created your original drive using software from the manufacturer. Take great care that anything you do at this point doesn't render it "unrecoverable". Recovery as Dmitry says would be a first step but you would need a disk large enough to carry the recovered files.

Hey guys. Yeah I have installed that R-Studio. Everything looks fine. Some files don't recover properly (Ending up being 0 bytes). But that's ok. I got the stuff I needed off it. The rest of the drive was mainly TV shows, which I can get of my mates 4TB server in the weekend.

Would you guys happen to know why it would do this? It's happened to me before with this drive (Randomly made a partition same size as windows drive, and rest empty), but I thought it was the Hard Drive, and got it replaced. It's only happened when I have unpluged the drive from the PC and them pluged it back in. Which is weird? What do you guys think? Motherboard playing up? (I'm using the onboard SATA) Cheers for you help guys. -Antman Last edited by antman; 11-26-2006 at 06:25 PM. |
