I finally found a program which managed to go in and retrieve my entire HD, Ontrack Recovery Tool. I have managed to copy all my data and burn it in just one night. All 150 gigs. Apparently having next to no programs running equals super fast burning times also. Yesterday I recieved the...

I cannot find the 10MB partition when I got down to DOS level. It was just the full 200GB partition, though it did say that 3 MB were left over. I only partitioned the original into one giant one using Windows XP. Also I realized that earlier when the drive first failed in March, the reason...

I want to make 100% sure of this, though I'm googling the answer too, deleting the one partition that shows up in DOS mode (when I'm pretending that I want to install windows onto the bad drive), that will *not* delete the data? I was going to see if I could create a partition in the bad drive...

Not at the time, I did not run a diagnostic test at the time besides completing failing to get into the system. If I recall correctly, after three days or so of fighting to get back in, I eventually caved and bought a new HD and put the inaccesible one aside to come back to later. I was hoping...

Wolluf, None of the recovery programs are working for me. They cannot get past the 10MB that it shows in My Computer.

Freestone: It reads, Disk 1 Basic 189.92 GB Online then to the right, E: 189.92 GB FAT Healthy (Active) Then I just discovered something. XP is installed on my good C drive. I reformated C earlier when I cloned E to it and then I could not access C. Currently C has a fresh copy of XP...

Also, there is no NTLDR file showing up in my C (good) drive. I have all hidden files shown and am not able to find it using XP's search options. Apparently it is there though for the computer to be up and running while using the good HD.

Alright, apparently its only checking the 10MB that the bad drive is claiming to have under "My Computer." It just checks it and then says its completed the check.

Thank you very much for your advice. I will do that shortly. In regards to the virus question, when the computer crashed, I could not get anywhere with it. It just kept repeating, "NTLDR is Missing" and then no amount of recovery from the XP disc would fix it.

When you go into My Computer it shows drive E, which is the bad drive. By hovering the mouse on top of it, it says its only 10MB. However, using diskmgmt.msc, it does list 189GB. The diskmgmt.msc program is split into a top and bottom half. The top half is white while the bottom is gray...

Alright, I ran the PowerMax diagnostic test from Maxtor. The results came back as the device has failed. The good news is that Maxtor is replacing the hard drive since its still under warrenty. The bad news is that I still cannot get the data off. The estimates I'm getting is well over $400 to...

Alright, I ran diskmgmt.msc and got this from it: 189.92 GB FAT Online Healthy (Active) Partition style: Master Boot Records (MBR) However, at the top part of the box, it lists its capcity as still being only 10 MB.

Actually, I just realized that the new HD is using NTFS compression while the broken slave is using FAT. Is this the problem? I'm unsure how they ended up using different compressions when I used the exact same copy of Windows XP SP2 disc to format both intially. What I'm suspecting is that...

Hello, I wrote a couple months back about my HD suddenly failing with a NTLDR is Missing message (see: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1141878705). I am finally done with school and able to slave the broken Maxtor drive to the newer Western Digital HD. Upon restarting the...
