Yes! That would be me. The Tim-PC was the sign-in for my personal partition. The other was work related.
Wow... I noticed some very weird "folder" on my DataPart disk which holds the WindowImageBackup. It is named "TIM-PC" and has a small symbol of...
Should I use Recuva or MiniTool Power Data Recovery or similar to try to recover the data and copy it to a working partition on one of the other...
The one PST file I found ( I found it again) was only 44.5MB. Not nearly big enough since it had a couple YEARS of emails. Plus, the PST I found...
No unallocated space.
I didn't look to see how big it was. I was too busy trying out how I managed to take ownership of the drive and look at the files. It was kinda...
Hi NormanF. Yes, that is the plan once I (hopefully) restore the missing partition and recover the files. A format and re-install is what I'll...
Yes, I agree. It looks like there is a missing 500GB on the drive somewhere. It HAS to be that 4th partition. I am going to try some partition...
Both of my desktops have room for 3 hard drives, and the Data cable on the system has a connector for 3 hard drives, but I need the other cable,...
I'll look for that and report back when I get the old drive put back in tomorrow. I don't recall that off the top of my head, but I wasn't paying...
Unfortunately, I can't recall. It was created 5 years ago. Perhaps 500GB on a 1.5TB HD since the OS partition size was around 1TB.
Sounds good. I'm going to call it a wrap for tonight. Thanks for the help. Regards.
CRAP! I wonder if there is any sort of partition table backup on the disk that I can salvage? If I can't see the partition, I wonder if I can...
Yes, I do have Macrium. I haven't installed it yet on my Home desktop, but I'll do that and try my luck at getting it to image the 4th partition....
YIKES! I'll have to put the old HD in the home system and try to get them copied off the drive. Do you suggest a good recovery software package?
Thanks Brian. If the image restore is successful, does it restore all of the boot info allowing the drive to boot just as before? Does it...
Hi All. I just now got around to installing the other drive in my home system. It took a little while as I played around with the trashed drive...
Good Morning All. Shortly before turning in last night I started another chkdsk /f since I had a gut feel I may have stopped the process thinking...
gambla & stapp, Thanks very much for helping too. I am grateful for any assistance. I'll try making a "bootable" DVD (preferably a USB Flash...
chrome-sturmen, Will do... Thanks !
Hi chrom_sturmen & Brian K, I downloaded the drive testing software and will run it as a test on the drive as soon as the last chkdsk I started...
Darn it... not great news for sure. The other HDD is still in the desktop at work, so I have to pull it out tomorrow and bring it home. I'll...
Geez. I am back to the error message that states: D:\ is inaccessible. The Volume does not contain a recognized file system. WTH ! I noticed...
I am running chkdsk /f for the third time. It does seem to get a little further each time, but it eventually just stops and all I see is a...
