Create MBR for external Hard Drive
I really need someones help. I was using WinPE diskpart and did a /clean command to disk 1 which I thought was my usb stick but it was my external hard drive. It looks like it just wiped my MBR. How can I recover my data from the external Hard Drive?

My guess is you wiped you external drive. Does the external drive show in My Computer or Disk Management? If so, does it show any data present?
I found this info: Note Do not use Diskpart to configure a CompactFlash device. Because of the way Windows XP reports disk geometry on CompactFlash devices, repartitioning your CompactFlash device may render it inoperable. Contact your CompactFlash manufacturer for assistance repartitioning the device. |

It doesn't show under my computer. It does show under disk management as Unallocated with 931.5 GB of space. And it is a 1TB. I did read online that diskpart /clean only clears the mbr. I didn't format the hard drive.

Data recovery software. You MIGHT be able to fix it by pulling it out of the housing and installing it as the ONLY drive in a system, boot with your XP CD, use the repair console and FIXMBR.

I might have to try that... I have Zap for a recovery software. I'm still waiting for that to finish. Do you know of any other software that maybe good?
