FAT Table
G'day,
A 40 gig hard-drive, partitioned up into a 10 and 30 The partition is buggered. In the ranish partition manager it see's the 30 gig, but says the boot sector is corrupt - ie, the FAT tables have gone up the spout Windows itself does not see it - nothing surprising there I tried a program called Virtual Lab, which is the only one that i have found that can "see" all my 30 gigs of dirs and files - it bypasses windows, and reads the 303 gig'er at driver level I simply haven't deleted files into recycle bin, then emptied that..Virtual Lab wants $500 us dollars, and as im in Aust, I'm not paying that. Even if i did, that $500 is to recover a "quota" of 30 gig, and once thats "used", if another drive stuffs up, $500 again What i need is a program that can read my (damaged partition / boot sector) 30 gig'er at driver level, , and thus restore to second, primary slave drive What programs does anyone recommend ? One's like RecoverMyFiles don't work Ta, Jeff |

One's like RecoverMyFiles don't work Ta, Jeff I've used PC Inspector File Recovery for retrieving deleted data but its not so good if the drive is faulty. http://www.webattack.com/get/pcinspector.shtml When my Dads year-old Hard Drive went faulty we had to buy GetDataBack for NTFS for about £70 but it was worth it for a years worth of work recovered. |

Then the data can't be THAT important. |
