Neural Interface Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Ok so apart from eveything ever going wrong, theres a new problem, I wanted to merge two drives, blah blah balh, anyways basically I was transferring about 30GB of stuff that I NEED (not pr0n)btw onto my new drive and everything has went out the window, I feel like formatting both of them but thats not an option theres just to much stuff not to mention all my work so...

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) 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 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. 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
