Recovering Data

Expand Post »

I messed up my harddrive suing partiton magic just recently, I went in and put in a new harddrive as my master and installed windows xp home on it. Now i have it running, but it doesnt see my harddrive that was messed up, and it also takes about 10 minutes to boot up. If I disconnect the drive it only takes a few seconds to boot. Now I'm trying to get my information back. Are there any programs to use to get my data back? or is it even possible to get it back now =/

Re: Recovering Data

As long as you can access the drive, this program should work, but keep in mind some of the files may have become corrupted:

Re: Recovering Data

Also make sure that the jumpers are set appropriately ... so that one drive can be recognized as master and the other as slave.... and also make sure that your master is on primary ide channel ... if the problem is with the harddisk .. then please post in our hardware section to get appropriate response.
