Corrupted harddisk

Asko Mäkitalo · Mar 10, 2004

Hi!

On my motherboard one cooling sink was losen and
some contoller chip was overheated. My HD was somehow
corrubted. It is now as slave disk.

I am using that free version of
Ontrack EasyRecovery DataRecovery -software
seems to find everything but I cannot access drive from WinXP,
it says that it is not formated and ask if format.

Any good ideas how to fix this harddisk?

Files should be recovered by copying to another disk. When bad sectors
are present, it can be difficult to plan the optimal strategy, but one
option is to attempt to copy the files using Findpart, assuming you
have room for the files on a partition on another disk. As example the
command to attempt to copy all (not system and not deleted) files from
the 18998 MB partition to current directory and below will be:

findpart findntfs 2 2575 0 1 copy

(disk number, cylinder, head, sector - from Findpart "Start CHS")

Hi!
Thank you Svend Olaf Mikkelsen for your good advise.

Just curious when does those bad sectors came,
and to know how should do next time.
I reboot with W2K and that does not start,
after reset I start WinXP which made automatic chkdsk
and told about bad sectors.
I just worder if that XP made those bad sectors?

btw how you get rid of spam?

No, it didn't.

What's that got to do with it?

You wrote previously: "On my motherboard one cooling sink was losen

corrubted."

There can be a connection, since at least some bad sectors are the
result of the disk not being able to protect itself against usage and
environment not following the specifications.

My current mail provider offers a spam filter. The viruses I filter
locally. I however will not recommend that a casual usenet user uses
his normal email address.

Hello, Svend:

To combat spam, I'd recommend MailWasher <http://www.mailwasher.net>,
a freeware program that is full-featured and quite effective. I've been
using it, for over nine months, and it's helped me manage the tons of
junk e-mails I'm constantly bombarded with (easily 300+ messages,
daily).

Good luck!

Cordially,
John Turco <[email protected]>
