I have a maxtor 250Gb, fat32 that windows xp
corrupted ( according to the tech support at maxtor - this is what windows xp
does...Remind me why do we use windows again...?)
Anyway, They say that, according to the
installation manual they "strongly recommend to format these drives immediately
as ntfs" Well, I have purchased close to 20 of these drives in the last year
for many of my users. One of them, I guess, forgot to read the stinking
manual.
Using diskprobe, I've been able to see that the
disk configuration information has been zeroed out. I've been able to put back
information about the starting and ending head, cylinders, and sectors, and even
the system ID. What I don't know how to do is to put back the "Signature,
Starting offset, Partition length, starting sector and partition
number.
Do you know of a good recovery, diagnostic tool
that would allow me to manipulate the disk configuration information? Would you
also be able to recommend a data restoration service here in town or in
Canada?
Thanks in advance.
Rafael.
