Drive H does not list any info for it. This hard drive in computer is around 400 GB. <br/>I'm afraid it sounds like a full wipe and clean install is needed...<br/>Keep in mind as long as i've been doing this i rarely if ever offer that advice.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.dtidata.com/resourcecenter/2007/04/23/how-to-slave-hard-drive/"><strong>Slave Drive Tutorial...</strong></a><br/><br/>Done properly the above method should <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/allow-362909" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALLOW">ALLOW</a> you to recover any and all data you need from that machine...<br/><br/>Best of Luck.patio may be right, but let me ask you one more question.<br/>What is the drive letter, where Windows originally resided?Sorry for delay. <br/>Before any problems, the hard drive was "C". Now it is listed as the "H" drive. The restore drive was "D" and now it is listed as "C" drive. <br/><br/>Will try the slave drive hook-up to recover data. Thanks for all the help. Reading mine and others post has helped a lot in learning about computers. I looked on internet but have yet to find a way to slave a SATA drive, which mine is. Is there another way to recover, mainly, photo and MS word files from a SATA drive that won't boot up? Instructions are for PATA drive, not SATA drive. There is no Master/Slave for SATA.For a SATA drive to be slave it needs to be on a SATA port above #2...<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/note-344986" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NOTE">NOTE</a>: On some machines it is odd #'d SATA ports that accomplise this such as 3 or 5...<br/>Consult your MBoard manual...Thanks everyone for help. After ruling out all easy options, one fix did work. I was able to find another spare hard SATA drive and install it in computer and use the "Recovery Disks" I made when I first got computer( HP help desk told me these may be bad and I needed to order more from them $). Those formatted the new hard drive. I found the same type of cables were attached to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cd-236847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CD">CD</a> drive (port #9)as I needed for a second hard drive hookup. After hooking up the "unbootable" hard drive and restarting computer it ran "CHKDSK" and changed several things and I was able to open up the hard drive and copy all the files. <br/><br/>CHKDSK said that it deleted corrupt attribute list entry with type code 128 in file 5768, and about 3 other files. <br/>It also Deleted index entry WPDNSE in index $I30 of file 19292. Later it added back stuff to both the index $I30 and file. <br/>After these checks I was able to access the "bad" hard drive I needed files from.<br/><br/>I re hooked up the "bad" drive and disconnected the new one and everything works now. It took a long while (about 5 min) to load everything after my desktop screen came on. <br/><br/>Thanks again for help!<br/></body></html> | |
