I have 1 HD, 45 Gig and another, 13 Gig.
I created 1 Partition from 14 Gig, one from 13, and one striped from 26 Gig.
I lost a lot of important information because the first partition has become inaccessible.
The dir-command from the recovery console reports :'error reading directory structure'
Are there still any other programs voor recovering data ?
I tried Lost&Found on my suddenly inaccessible HD, displaying a partition with 14002 M, 14001 Free ?
(I installed windows xp on that partition before)
When i try L&F, it simply crashes after finding my SCSI-devices (the option -s makes no difference).
With the recovery console i repaired allready the MBR and i executed the bootfix utility. Both utilities are reporting errors and are replacing the MBR and the BOOTPART but after a restart i can do it all over again with the same results.
Problem 2 (has nothing to do with the first one)
On my portable i have a dual boot NT4 / XP. With PowerQuest Partition Magic 7, i tried to merge two partitions from a second 30 Gig HD into one.
It's a removable disk, so normally the OS doesn't need that disk for properly working.
While mounting the second partition in a map of the first (both NTFS), the program reported a sharing violation.
Both partitions became inaccessible !!
With Lost and found i couldn't recover one usefull bit.
The two partitions still exist, and the first i could access again after assigning a drive letter. But the second (which is the most important one) says :'Format the drive ?'
I can't rollback the operations from Partition Magic, can I ? It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
