Lost Partition/Data - Recovery? Partition? Filenames?
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening etc...
I write still in the throes of total despair...The partition on my external Maxtor Hard Drive where I store the "My Documents" folder has just had the hardware equivalent of a hiccough and is now appearing as "h:new volume". Wonderful. So that's 65Gb of Music, Photos and Documents from Work and College down the bloody Suwannee...Unless [INSERT ADVICE] Can I recover my data? Nothing has been written to the "new" partition. I have enough space on the other 3 drives to transfer the data across should it be found. If indeed the data can be found WILL THE FILES STILL HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL FILENAMES??? Or do these get replaced by any recovery software i.e. I decided to panic-purchase the program "Recover my files" found on http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ and it is now up an running, searching for the data. [has anyone used this software and can it do what I seek?] The thoughts of having 45,000 files without their filenames chills me...in that case I may as well let the data stay lost!!! Can I reconstruct the original file structure and filenames. [please say yes...a qualified one would do!] Does anyone have any constructive advice, anecdotal or practical? I would appreciate your assistance. Many thanks Dave Hardwa Maxtor One Touch 250Gb partitioned into 2 partitions. The first one is working fine. THe second is the bugger... The other drives are 2 internal western digital 80 Gb drives. Have never had any problems with them. |

Get Data Back worked well for me. Though the filenames were changed. And the files within the original
folders were often mixed up. "dave" wrote in message om... Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening etc...
