Today i started my computer as usual, but my 250gb harddisk was missing (in my computer) - so i restarted it and it appeared again. Now it says; D:\ is not accesible. The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable? wooooo, this is not so good. important stuff on that drive. im running windows xp sp2. anyone got a clue how to fix this? |

getdataback for ntfs or fat, whichever your drive is. you'll need somewhere apart from that drive to save the data on. |

but redrum, is it dead forever?!?! |

1. check if it is plugged in properly 2. go into bios and check the settings 3. ask another geek what to do next |

run the checkdisk utility on your hard drive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah give it a go - chkdsk /f E: (where E: is your drive letter) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
and yeah cunty, i wouldn't trust it any more. if you manage to fix it now, it'll fail completely in the near future. bummer huh? |

you should always properly stop/disconnect the usb harddrive before shutting down windows. Windows has the habit of fucking such things up when it feels like doing that. |

You have definitely scared me with this thread, I too have an external harddrive which contains 250 GB as well. I really hope that will never happen to me! |

That'd be a good idea though, at least you can be sure you're not ruining your hard disk. |

hard drives fail. it's a fact of their design. these days you're lucky to get 3 years out of a HD. especially externals. |

Bad news, what can I do then... I've got nearly everything on it. I thought that they fail if you kept them working a lot for example. |

I don't trust external hard drives. Too many horror stories. |
||||||||
|

|
|
its not external? |

chk desk is not available for RAW drives? |

are you running the one that comes with window? Start->run->"cmd" and press enter then type what i told you to type in my previous post |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
can you even get into windows at all? |

By the way, there is something even scarier than having a hard drive crashing. It's called death and you might not avoid it. Bad news, what can you do then... |

3 months ago my seagate barracuda 80 gigs just died between one booting and another - the bootsector got corrupted and there is no chance to revive, restore, nor get any data out of it back. call that a bummer ! |

Monoid is deep then. |
