Hard drive recovery and cryogenics...
 |
Hi DMR - there were no mechanical or physical issues that I could see. I tried a Linux boot CD and all the files were greyed out and unaccessable.
I changed the drive configuration around and ran GetBackData ( www.runtime.org ) from the new master with no viewable files found. A new hard drive was installed and we have started over from scratch.
I will try your DFSee but am not too hopeful at this stage.
Not sure what caused the crash but I blame Microsoft and their POS OS

A brand new development in my recovery - after having runtime.org look over my recovery attempt, they suggested that I try the recovery software for a FAT file system instead of NTFS and IT WORKED!!!!! I have now recovered 90% of the files from the old drive. So to any of you attempting diaster recovery, I highly recommend runtime's software and make sure you are running the correct version depending on your file allocation system.
Yes- the type of filesystem you're dealing with (NTFS, FAT32, etc.) can definitely be a factor. Glad you got it worked out.
