i think my maxtor onetouch is fried: HELP - GoFuckYourself.com

Naughty · 06-28-2004, 12:46 PM

problem is I have my life worth of pictures on there as well :/
And a gazillion movies I have yet to see and music to burn.

The weird names should be regular directories with my damn files ...

Anybody had this kind of drama as well?

riosluts · 06-28-2004, 12:48 PM

No, Maxtor is my backup drive. Movies and music I do not backup, just store them there as this drive is huge.

The Truth Hurts · 06-28-2004, 01:02 PM

I ended up having to reformat it.

You're just saying that because of your nickname right?

Vitasoy · 06-28-2004, 01:14 PM

Try to get a program called easy recovery pro, that program saved my ass many times... As long as the bios detects your hd it's not fried.

Mine is a 200, so I hope I am safe.

Naughty · 06-28-2004, 01:22 PM

In any case, what do I do with the chkdsk question?

"Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)?"

Now what? Press Y or N here?

Press yes. Two things can happen, it's all fixed or Windows fucks up the File Allocation Table a little more, but that doesn't matter since it all can be recovered with a disaster recovery programm.

KRL · 06-28-2004, 01:29 PM

Sounds like your tables are fucked up. There are programs you can get that will set everything right.

I had 2 disks I thought were toast. Ran a recovery program and everything was intact and fine.

In the worst case if its extremely important or valuable data you can take or send it to a recovery service and they'll disassemble the drive in a clean room and pull the data off the drives for you.

Usually costs about $1,000 and up.

Naughty · 06-28-2004, 01:29 PM

Fuck, I wished I read your reply first. I got impatient and pressed "n", this is what followed:

Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)? n

27139008 KB of free disk space would be added.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.
199,085,024 KB total disk space.
160 KB in 5 hidden files.
64 KB in 2 folders.
32 KB in 1 files.
171,945,728 KB are available.

32,768 bytes in each allocation unit.
6,221,407 total allocation units on disk.
5,373,304 allocation units available on disk.

Now, I do not want 27 Gigs to be added, I want it there, in data. Shall I do as suggested and do the chkdsk /F k: ?

Yeah, I'm in queue for the easy recovery pro 6.0.
If it works I'll buy it.

Fabuleux · 06-28-2004, 01:43 PM

Can you remember how much data you had available before the crash?

Yes, the numbers are correct there, so all data should be there.

Fabuleux · 06-28-2004, 01:47 PM

Well, in that case I can't help you further, my data recovery software can only recover to a second drive. Maybe you have Norton Utilities/Systemworks?

RFlagg · 06-28-2004, 01:49 PM

Easy Recovery Pro should do the trick...short of a platter dump, that should get any data you have (that hasn't been trashed).

Defrag & scandisk on a regular basis kids...I know this doesn't help you now...once you have recovered...weekly...scandisk, then defrag...religiously.

I do that very often, just haven't done it to my external HDD yet, as it is very new and only used to store files. I'm sure there's nothing to defrag there :-)
