Hi all,
I recently had my hard drive (about 1 year old now) crash, and I don't know what to do to get the data back.
The first error I saw was "Windows was unable to save all the data for the file F:\$mft".......
Since then explorer locked up when i tried to access the drive and I tried to do a chkdsk on it but had it fail for not being able to access the partition. I then rebooted to see if that would fix the issue like it does sometimes, but the drive won't mount anymore. Disk management won't detect the drive, but it shows up under hardware (Maxtor - Drive #2). I can't open partition magic, and Ive tried using a program called "GetDataBack for NTFS" but that started crashing, so I saved a log of it.
I'll post the log below.
The 2nd(Maxtor) drive is the issue. Any ideas?
Thanks!
