Solve : Secondary partitioned harddrive becomes "unformatted" after chkdsk /f /r?

Answer»

Hey everyone, i got quite a problem, a couple weeks ago, i turned on my computer like usual and oh surprise, my sec hd with it's 2 partitions are both "illegible", reading around i use chkdsk /F /r finding possibbly damaged clusters. after the next reboot, both partitions are now "unformatted", how do i recover all those files? i've been reading up on testdisk, easeus partition doctor and spinrite, but i still got my doubts

System: WINDOWS XP SP31) Try Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva)
2) No need for the /f switch - the correct command is chkdsk /r (the /r switch assumes the /f switch)uh...i already did the chkdsk thing, it netted me with both partitions showing up as "unformatted"Yes I know. I was just saying that for future reference the correct command is chkdsk /r. For now, you want to try Recuvawell, i could finally try recuva today, netted me a "Corrupt MFT" ERROR, ADD to that, the DISK went back to being "illegible" and asking me for some sort of "serial number".
