The Formatting on a Drive has currupt, anyway to recover information?
1 replies, posted
l So, my headphones dropped and pressed the Reset button on my computer while Windows 8, (I have an NZXT Phantom and the reset button is... easy to press) the OS I use on my C:\ drive was running, then I try to start it up and it won't.
So I use my XP OS Installed on E:\, Windows XP CHKDSK automatically decides to try and attempt to fix the boot errors on C:\, I let it because I thought it would fix the problem.
After a few "segment xxxxx is unreadable" errors occurred, I thought things might be trouble... it ends trying to fix the Master Table File and Volume information, but "an unspecified error has occurred" making the program shut down and leaving the processes unfinished, Now, I'm stuck with a C:\ Drive that shows as not formatted...
Is there ANY way at all to recover the information?
It's defiantly not a hardware thing, because the D:\ Partition is on the same hardware and still works.

I will run CHKDSK again to see if it does anything

E:\Documents and Settings\Aritz>chkdsk C: /F
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Windows 8.
Corrupt master file table. CHKDSK aborted.

Well, fuck...
Still, is there ANY way to recover the information...?
Either run your os from another disk and run a recover utillity on the disk (google it shitload of programs that do this).
Or install Linux on a thumb drive and see if you can open the hdd from it
