    Winternal's Disk Commander problem...

    After CHKDSK deleted all my files, indexes and replaced the security descriptions on my secondary 160GB drive, I've tried to recover these with Winternal's Disk Commander. Under "lost volumes" it found: - One possible 160GB NTFS volume - Four possible 3MB FAT 12 volumes, distributed...

    Lost 114GB after CHKDSK

    Yep, it sure looked that way! When I look closer, not more than about 100 files seem to be recoverable. Now gonna get Winternals Disk Commander and give it a try, but not really confident it will find more. Da*n chkdsk! How do you disable it??

    Files erased during CHKDSK - lost > 100GB

    I sure would like to know the reason why chkdsk deletes data - it could happen again! BIOS recognizes the full disk potential. And after formatting, I could still see it, but after a while it complained and ran chkdsk.

Like I mentioned, these are just but a few and they total a couple of MB. I lost more than 100GB/15000 files - could...

    Files erased during CHKDSK - lost > 100GB

    Help! There's probably no way I can recover this data, but before giving up all hope and format the drive, I'll give it a try here among all you knowledgable and helpful people. HDD1: IBM 75GXP - 46 GB HDD2: Maxtor D540X-G4 - 160 GB OS: W2K SP3 After having formatted HDD1 and reinstalled W2K...

    Lost 114GB after CHKDSK

    Hi pbxman! Unfortunately not. There's a directory called "found.000" and under that 6 sub directories "dir0000.chk - dir0006.chk" with some 20 files + 5 files "file0000.chk - file0005.chk" ranging from 2-4000kB. Besides this, some original directories are still...
