DD10 (2160) - Resize of 2 Partitions Resulted in Corrupt MFT.

[ballen]

Hi,

While trying to resize my Vista Home Basic hard drive's (2) existing partitions (NTFS), The resize completed successfully for my bootable partition ("C") but I've received a red "C" in the 2nd partition (data). This partition is now unviewable by Windows.

Spinrite 6.0 found no errors. Windows command "chkdsk d: /r" aborted and reports that there's a corrupt "master file table" when run on my 2nd partition (data) but was completed successfully on the boot partition ("C").

Is there any suggestions you might have on restoring/recovering the MFT or retrieval of the data off the partition?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

ballen

Hello ballen,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/)

Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response.

Corrupted MFT can be recovered by running Checkdisk as you did.

- Go to the Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
- Enter the command: "chkdsk DISK: /r"
where DISK is the partition letter you need to check. Please note, that
checking the C: drive may require you to reboot the machine.

If this does not help, Please create Acronis Report as it is described in Acronis Help Post (http://wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=55317). And attach to your message in this thread.

Thank you.
