Need Data Recovery from HD
But in Window NT/2K/XP, neither the command prompt or chkdsk are DOS programs.
Yes, chkdsk is the correct program for minor problems. I doubt anyone has something better for NTFS. If it can't be fixed, you have to copy with findntfs or a commerical alternative. "Jetro" wrote in message ... Certainly chkdsk.exe exists in any MS OS, this is its native utility. OTOH, DOS version prompts to use scandisk.exe instead starting from DOS 6.2 when MS has purchased scandisk.exe from P.Norton. Experienced user would never run chkdsk.exe in DOS environment, this is NT utility in conjunction with chkntfs.exe. |

If you have a network with another computer that has availible storage, you should be able to transfer the stuff to it across the network. This might negate the need to buy another drive if money is tight for you.(especially after buying the recovery software). -Good luck with it. - Nehmo - The only network I *have* is the internet. Early next week I can afford a new HD. I'm thinking about this Samsung 160 GB at US$110 http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...ct_id=16 8101 If I can't get my WD 80 GB going again, it's covered under warranty. I bought it at CompUSA in March 2004. I'm not sure if I can exchange it at the store or if I have to send it away. Every time I call the Overland Park, KS store, they put me on hold and forget about me. In the meantime, I think I'm going to be able to try Easy Recovery for the Word docs. http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoveryprofessional/ The Word docs are the most important unavailable files. I do home repairs, and I'm in the middle of a large repair & stain job. All the records, money transactions, progress pics, activity reports, receipt images, etc are on the unavailable drive. It's hard for me to ask the customer for interim money if I can't report what's we've done. I'm trying to reconstruct everything as best I can, but it's taking a lot of time I don't have. (And don't anybody give me a lecture about backing things up. You'd be too late!) :-) -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * ********************* |

WD is a very reputable company. You should have no trouble getting a replacement. Their
drives haven't given me or my clients any problems. They also have some good utilities for diagnostics and copy drive to drive. You can get a 160 GB WD for $107 at: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/def...spx?EDC=456153 Beware of Maxtor. According to the many posts here, Maxtor drives seem to have a higher than average failure rate. T.C.

Actually, the only disks I have ever run into problems with have been
IBM and that was a while ago. Most disk manufacturers today are excellent and reputable. I highly recommend Seagate, Western Digital, and Maxtor. These are the three big ones in my opinion. Can't wait until SATA300 comes out with a 15K RPM drive. Whatever of these three companies releases it first will be getting my money for two set up in RAID ---- Nathan McNulty t.cruise wrote: WD is a very reputable company.
