Will Smith Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 not sure if ghost will work with a corrupted disk but u might want to try it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neural Interface Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Dont tempt me with the hammer :-D already tried scandisk, andif I cant read the disk, I can hardly rearange (defragment) it then, come on guys havent had one inspring idea yet THINK god crap you THINK (hmm sun rays during the night huh) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Yuck Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 wild guess: virus scan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neural Interface Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I think your knowledge base is showing here, IF I CANT ((READ)) THE DISK THEN HOW I CAN IT SCAN IT IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM. understand now mr yuck, hope this clears things up for ya anyone else have any ideas PLEASE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Ship the drive off to a data recovery center. They'll charge a hefty chunk of change, but it sounds like your data is worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm..have you tried it in another computer? was it NTFS or FAT based? if FAT can you see it by booting to DOS? Super nutty question...tried SafeMode?? maybe a funky driver or something... Hey, like Mr. Yuckster, we're trying to think out of the box is it still seen in the BIOS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
