Got half way through benching my 3870X2 and my drive took a shit with about 50 boints worth of screen shots ......

Not to mention all my downloads and crap

rest of the shit I don't care about

any data recovery guru's around .......

[Dentlord]

YGPM

Lemme know if it works

[DrNip]

I always have a flash drive in and save to that instead of HDD.

[Neuromancer]

NTFS recover has been the best for me...

It does not recover file names though so can be a real pita to deal with.

[Kal-EL]

I boot up with another hdd and grab the files off the borked one. Is the shit hdd just an OS corruption or like fully dead?

[DrNip]

Yeah if the OS is just corrupt plug the HDD into another PC and snag what ya want off it.

[Witchdoctor]

I wish

just a data drive with 2 partitions for my OS bench drives witch are SSD's and it does not even show up ....... takes like 15 minutes for the system to boot when it is just connected ? tryied it in my grinder as well with the same result .........
Can this software deal with drives that are not detected by the OS or the BIOS for that matter as it does not show up their either ......... effin dead as a door nail

WD 500GB Black = FAIL

Drive is only a year old ......... POS

[Neuromancer]

You have two choices.


Freezer method (put it in an airtight bag... first)

Or find the exact same HDD (down to firmware) and try swapping pcbs.

[Hondacity]

did you recently updated the bios?

if not.

did you change bios settings?
