Yeah I would recomend that too, and plus it feels nice to have a totally clean install. |

| Which partition is it? If it's the C drive, I would not worry about it, it will be faster to just reinstall the OS and your programs then trying to recover it. |

But now my problem: I had 2 Partition but fixboot only recovered 1 Partition. HOW CAN I GET THE OTHER ONE??? |

| Odd.... windows seems to hate 200GB drives or something. My PC at work has a 200 and it totally crapped out completely and when I put a 200GB in my machine at home... well let's just say I ordered new parts, because something is seriously not right. But if you did not get sudden loss of partitions you should be ok. I would use an imaging software to image the D drive to the new HDD, or use a copy tool other then explorer. Explorer stops the process for the sillyest thing, then it's a pia trying to figure out where to start off from there. |

| Hello! Would be great if I can get help here, because I tried almost everything. ------------------------- I have a running XP Prof. and wanted to make a backup of all my Data on the Data Disk (200 GB HDD) from one partition on the other. During copy Windows broke up and said that it couldn't complete the action because there was something like a file access error. I tried to access this one folder and I couldn't open it. Later on I restarted the computer and found out, that BIOS knows my harddrive but not WINDOWS or DOS. I heard from an expert, that If you copy too many folders at once (I had about 55 GB on Document Files = about 200.000 Files) the Windows Explorer crashes or makes failues in the copy action. He said that I had to copy with Total Commander or copy little by little and not everything at once. I have NTFS File System. PLEASE HELP ME! HDD doesn't make any suspect noises and was brand new from Seagate Barracuda. I really don't think it crashed in hardware cause the problem was in COPY/PASTE Action in Windows Explorer. While i did shut down the system i unmounted the harddrive. After that trick, windows and dos knew my harddrive again. ------------------------- N O W It seems that mft was lost. I tried with fixboot. And it worked. However there where still corrupt Audio Files but I could access my Folders again. But now my problem: I had 2 Partition but fixboot only recovered 1 Partition. HOW CAN I GET THE OTHER ONE??? |
