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 over the same area as the
160GB volume
There are different options (I don't understand the exact meaning of these and find it a bit fuzzy):
Salvage files (didn't find more than a few files that could be recovered). I
then went on to the next option - create entry - which I tried to apply to
the 160GB volume. However, "in order to use this option there cannot be any
existing volumes that occupy the same region of the disk". But there is no
option to remove these volumes (assume that it's the four FAT volumes they
mean).
Can someone please help me - not sure how to remove these volumes, or even
what the best way of action is regarding Disk Commander.
