It's been quite a while and I've not done a lot of this type of thing. So help would be appreciated:
My dad's hard drive died (4 year old HP desktop). So I took out the drive and slaved it to one of my machines at home. It sees (2) partitions one of which is the recovery partition and it sees fine as NTFS (no data). And the other it saw as RAW, and that's the one that the OS and data were on. I downloaded EaseUS Partition Master and it saw the partition as NTFS and showed the correct amount of used space (on the right track). Had it do a scan/fix but no luck still not able to access anything win Windows. So I formatted it, so windows could see it. Then I used the EaseUS data recovery tool. That found the partitions and seemed to see all the directory structures and the files(more good news). It ran over night and looked like it found everything but when I restored a few test files, they were corrupt. I'm hoping that maybe a better took (GParted ?) might help? Thoughts?
