Read files on NTFS partitions from DOS or win9x/me
Sounds interesting. I'll give it a look. Just went through
about 2 weeks worth of recovering about $500,000 man-hours worth of data on crashed ntfs system that had only been backed up to itself. I swear, the users are just idiots about this. I recovered about half that data .. .all dirty writes ... and I have no idea yet if that data is accurate. Gave the drives to co-worker, and he has been cranking a binary reader on the drives for days getting a file at a time. He has 2 gigs worth of email alone ... ALL of it contractural in nature. What a mess. I'm working with a WinME cd-boot disk since it can read big partitions under its "dos", and pull data to Fat32 large partitions. That is the trick you have to have. Master the cd-boot drive, and slave one big Fat32, and slave the crashed drive trying to move the dirty data. No fun at all, and a huge temper tantrum in the works !!!!! Note: if you try to pull dirty data to a Master'd OS, you take the chance of the damn thing going in and deleteing the partitions. I KID YOU NOT. DON'T DO THAT. You need to use a minimal boot OS that cannot turn wise on you and sack the data. johns |
