Recover Data Files, Unerase Files

How to retrieve data from a recovered partition?

I have a 160 GB HDD with following partitions.

Active Partition – 40 GB
Extended Partition
* Logical 1 – 20 GB – FAT32
* Logical 2 – 100 GB – FAT32

I accidentally tried to merge Logical 2 to 1 and killed the process before it completes.

Now, I no longer have access to Logical 2 drive. I recovered the Logical 2 partition using Partition Magic, but I don’t know how to recover the files/folders.

When I logon to Windows XP, all I can see is Active & Logic 1 drives.

Any help highly appreciated.

Thanks,

So, I formatted my external hard drive and I need the data back. Any suggestions on how to recover ALL or most of my data? I haven’t written anything on top of the data yet. Are there any tools or programs out there that might help me (ideally freeware)?

I have a Seagate 500 GB/7200rpm something or other hard drive that suffered trauma when the Macbook it was in hit the ground. The drive is like 2 years old. I sent it to Data Recovery Labs and they quoted $1690 to recover the data. Surely there must be an alternative that *normal* people can afford? Any tips?
What do you mean by “freezing it”?
But can this be done if the dead computer can’t even be booted?

Hello, so while testing a firewire harddrive out(Ironically enough) the main hard drive crashed(Looks like a worm). So, after doing a diagnostic from the BIOS and finding CRAP skittered all over the disk(As in… ERROR THIS AND THIS IS BAD)… i said to myself, big deal, meet my XP install disk!
The csrss.sys file is not able to be replaced by the XP disk and it looks like some windows media 9 .exe file is corrupted too.
The computer boots through BIOS, and then starts the windows loading page with the bar moving and all and then it crashes at the same time on the same file every time(Strange: Its not the csrss.sys file either).

BASICALLY a new harddrive that fits that is 80 or 120 GB is not that expensive, so I will install a new harddrive, load XP, tadaa!! But now what… how would i go about setting up the other drive as a slave or whatnot, do i put it in the HDD2 slot and then set it as a slave in the bios? Is it easy drag/drop interface after that? thanks a bunch !

I know there have been a lot of these asked but I have a little twist. I have the sandsik cruzer and I was trying to delete the U3 Launch program. It started and then it wanted to transfer my files and format the drive. So I clicked cancel because I wanted to back up all my files first. When I did that, most of my files were gone. The most important ones for college are gone too. Is there any way I can get these back? I have tried a couple different recovery programs and they havnt found anything and I also have to pay to save anything they find anyway. Thanks for any help.

My Wii was hit by a power surge while it was plugged in to an off-brand power adapter without a fuse. The power surge appears to have knocked out the Wii. It is not the power adapter because I tried getting a new OEM one and the unit will still not power on.

I am planning on simply buying a new Wii but I need to know how I can (a) get the disc out that is currently in the wii and (b) retrieve my game save data.

Thank you so much.

My D drive died yesterday, and after having a competent friend look at it, he told me to look for “system data recovery” “hard disk” and “slack space” on google to find a program to find the files that were on my D drive. He thinks they are in slack space.

If anyone can help me to recover my data, I would be very appreciative (I have a place to store the data just as long as I can recover the data from the undiscoverable drive). I really would rather not go to IT, so yes. I’d really appreciate it.

The other day my Seagate external hard drive stopped working all of a sudden and now it doesn’t mount on my laptop. It is now making a clicking noise every time I try to use it. I have almost 400GB of stuff on it and loosing the data is not an option. How do I fix it ?

i have lost my data of USB memory stick by power failure. could you please advise me the way to recover my data.

thanks
