Hi, my 2 wks old seagate 160 Gig HD is stated as unformatted under disk manager running WIN2k Pro. It was working fine for those 2 weeks, but then 2 days ago i've notice one of the directory was not accessible. I didnt think much of it, but after next logon under My Computer the drive D: is still listed but it's prompting to be formatted. My Win2k OS is running on a totally seperate 6gig drive C: I have ran out of options.
I've used Fix-it v4, partition magic 8, disk investigator, acronis recovery expert (didnt run), Getdataback (didnt fix partition and most of the files recoverable was not even 5% of the data it contained. The only one tool that shown some sign of luck is Recover It All v3.0. It actually shows that the drive D: partition needs to be rebuilt. However, i only have the demo copy and cant find a crack to test it's job. At this point, i truly think the partition is the only thing damaged. The software is 149 (i think), but i dont want to waste more money if i am not sure that it'll be recovered. Also, virtuallab would be too expensive to repair it.
I have asked around and searched the web. Some have suggested Norton Systemworks has a tool to fix this. Any1 with any suggestion on how i can fix this 'DAMAGED PARTITION'?? or even a link where i can search for more help. Even better if i can locate a crack for Recover It All. thx for your help.
