Hard drive corrupted
Hello all,
Need your expertise to recover my files. My hard drive was corrupted so I could not boot to WIN2000. The Emergency Repair could not help. I did the CHKDSK and it only do 75% of the HD the rest was corrupted. Is anyone could help me to bring up WIN2000 or recover some files. Your help would be appreciated. Newuser |

You could slave it in a working computer and hopefully copy the data that isn't in corrupted sectors.

Don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but you may not be able to recover any data without recovery software such as Lost and Found. I had that happen with my XP once (twas my fault that the drive was corrupt), but nothing I tried would bring it back. I had to do a clean install WITH a format. Fortunately, my data was on different partitions and all intact after the installation.

It looks like there may be 2 issues. One is recovering the data which may not be possible. The other would be trying to determine why the corruption is there in the first place. I am currently working on a Dell laptop that has been suffering from some major file corruption no matter what I do. This is indicative of some hardware issue not software. So you should try and find out why you got the corruption in the first place.

HAL, may I ask what did you do to get the drive corrupted?
I remember putting another stick of RAM in my PC and XP started to do all kind of funny things, like the CHDSK, refused to run, informed me of problems with the drive. I was really scared as years of work were on my HD and I didn't have updated backups. After removing the RAM everything came back to normal. I've been wanting to test the stick again but been afraid to do it.

Impatience on my part did it (on XP BTW). I was experimenting with video drivers and with one of them, every now and then, the machine would boot with only 16 colours, then blue screen and do a memory dump. Well... one time it came up 16 colours, so instead of waiting for what I knew was gonna happen, I hit the reset button.... oops.... won't be doing that again.... lesson learned... let it dump.

I finally convinced Dell to send me a new hard drive since their diagnostic showed me it was bad. What do you expect from a Hitachi drive anyway?

Hello all,
First, I am thanking you all for all the help and your suggestion. Secondly, the corruption started after I updated the Service Pack 3. After installed it and restart PC . The PC would not pass loading new settings and then I has to reset/ power reset. Newuser |
