BeeCeeBee Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) While your explanation is a superb example of deductive reasoning (quite seriously,) may I suggest that you please pose these suggestions in the form of a question or questions. That way the casual reader who may look at the latest post first will not simply accept them as facts established within the thread. That being said, Mr. Holmes, that was far from elementary!! :) Edited February 9, 2009 by BeeCeeBee Quote "Familiarity breeds contempt - and children." Mark Twain

backtogeek Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Fair enough beeceebee, im still new here. Ok Trikomo, your files system is being seen as RAW which usually indicates either accidental formatting as a RAW file system (rare. but then it is showing 100% free space) or the drive has lost its file allocation table so you have a few options and I truly suggest you try them in this order as there is potential for perminate data loss here. 1) Download a knoppix Live CD burn it insert it and boot from CD as it can read RAW file systems which may allow you to drag the files off onto your fixed hard drive. 2) use Unformat hard drive with ZAR (its zar 8.3 under downloads) which should recover your files/filesystem 3) and there is risk attached to this, go to command prompt and type chkdsk k: /v /r /x if i was a betting man I would say its probably going to be option 2 that fixes it.

backtogeek Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 If possible I would suggest the knoppix approach first as it is a read only option that will not attempt any sort of rewrite or recovery. Quote
