Corrupt Logical Partition.. HELP!

Okay, so I was using PartitionMagic 8.5 to defrag my logical E:\, but suddenly the power went out. So, my E:\ has crashed. Initially, I wasn't able to access E:\ but I used Windows' ErrorChecking, and now at least I can access my E:\. The trouble is, over 10GB of data is missing. All the files are still there, but some of them now have 0byte file size...


Please help...

Hello thevisigoth,

We would recommend you to contact PartitionMagic support team regarding this issue.

Thank you.

Alexey:

I must commend you on recognizing and recommending a solution from one of your competitors (albeit, it is their problem it seems).

 

t_Visigoth hi,

Try Gibson Research's "SpinRite" for initial recovery processes. When done thereafter, go 'Safemode' and use cmd-Run to enable "chkdsk X: /f /r" on your active primary partition!

SpinRite's url here ~ http://www.grc.com/intro.htm

NOTE: SpinRite's for initial 'recovery' process (SpinRite will auto-detect and request running 'Level-2' procedures. You also got options to select which partition as well). After SpinRite operation, when system bootup, switch immediately into safeMode and run 'chkdsk' with "/f /r" variables ON!! This is best-practice!
