While I agree with the format portion, I’m curious as to what your
choice/recommendation would have been for tools.

Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: partition or data recovery?
Formatting it was a mistake in my view.
I would have used a recovery tool that could pull the data off the disk
regardless of the partition structure.

Subject: [NTSysADM] partition or data recovery?
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?
Thanks
