However, since you have previously received the message: "The Volume Appears To Contain One or More Unrecoverable Problems", that's likely what it's referring to. Since you <strong>are</strong> having problems, I would continue. Since it's not working, you have nothing to lose, except maybe the Ubutu boot loader, which you would have to resolve later. I know nothing about Ubuntu.Fixmbr and fixboot were successful. When I restarted I got this message...<br/><br/>ntldr is missing. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/press-605361" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESS">PRESS</a> any key to restart.

Ive just plugged the hard drive into my home comp. And I can access F, which was giving me the I/O error before. However there is nothing in there. Is it possible that fixmbr or fixboot could have <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/wiped-7723135" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WIPED">WIPED</a> my work? Getting a bit worried now. Update: <br/>Checked properties of F. Used space - 2.93 mb. Free 7.16 mb- so it hasnt wiped everything (or anything?)

Make sure you have all original CD's and/or drivers.<br/><strong>You keep no backups of your work?</strong> <br/>You torpedoed yourself.<br/>I keep triple backups on different media.<br/> Quote from: dahlarbear on October 15, 2009, 02:42:46 PM<blockquote>If conventional wisdom fails, try <a href="https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk">TestDisk</a> data recovery.

It fixes a damaged MBR. Not likely to be the problem.<br/>As patio said, do NOT use a USB adapter. They are wimpy at best.<br/><br/>You want to convert from 2.5 IDE to the standard 3.5 IDE connector.
