Pls help: mft corrupt; chkdsk aborted: how can I get back my data?
I've got 3 partitions on my 250GB Maxtor HD (C: programs; D: + E: personal data).
when I upgraded my computer with some more RAM, it got a bit 'hicky' (wouldn't start properly and so on), until it wouldn't start at all. After reinstalling WindowsXP on a second HD, I tried to save my data (D) still with the new RAM in. But this messed up my computer totally. Since then I have no access at all on D:. When starting the computer it wants to run chkdsk, but without success ('chkdsk aborted'). --> How can I get my data back? --> Where can I find the second MFT on my disk? --> How can I copy the 'good' MFT at the place of the bad one? --> Is there any program out there that could help me (I wouldn't mind a free one)? --> Am I right, that it was the RAM's fault (not writing back correctly all the datas)? Thanks for any suggestion Jam it back in, in the dark. |

For questions 1,2 and 4:
Either Stellar Phoenix or GetDataBack. I personally recommend GetDataBack (rescued an entire 200GB drive with a corrupt MFT) since apparently Stellar Phoenix doesn't support unicode filenames. Both of them aren't free (naturally). Use the online resources at your disposal  How ya doing, buddy? |
