Disk crash data recovery (by 8 users)

posted by yish on Oct 20, 2005


At first my system was slow, then I got endless error messages on delayed write. When I tried to run scandisk it failed several times, but eventualy when I rebooted in went into scandisk automaticaly. Scandisk reported many bad sectory, bad file descriptors, etc. Eventualy it hung, and when I tried to reboot, the system went into a reboot loop.

I tried connecting an USB-IDE convertor to the disk and reading the files, but it hangs my computer.

first do a fdisk
see if your drive is detected and what partitions does it show.
, then check if you can see on setup bios options.
if there on bios options.... lucky .... drive can be retrived of data.... and may be restored too.. but any clicks and sounds mean drive is ready to crash ,,back up data as it can go crash any time. more assistance 0-9-3-2-1-1-0-1-7-1-7-

these are very common problem faced by todays people. I mean the hard disk crashed by various reason. Moun stated above comments about hdrc and yes , i'm agree with her that HDRC is the best solution for such problem. I'm a big fan of HDRC coz they always saved me from a big lost. Loosing all the important data is indeed a big lost. So , i must suggest you to visit their site www.hdrconline.com and i'm sure you'll enjoy too.

Ben

Spinrite is OK but the HDD regenerator that the foreign guy made that is included on Hiren's boot disk has fixed drives that spinrite wouldn't.

Download a copy of the current Hiren's boot disk and run the HDD regenerator. It also includes spinrite.
