QUOTE(allengorden @ Sep 17 2006, 05:29 PM) To my experience several things might have happened to your external hdd. u sure? the 4 th statement? coz i alwiz use usb to format it but no issue ler. 1. Bad sectors 2. Bad SMART (IC spoilt) 3. Using the front chassis usb ports(for pc)- this is a big no no. Pls use the back ones as the front usb ports have not enough power to fuel the external hdd. data will corrupt. 4. Initial formatting of hdd should be formatted by a pc using a hdd convertor. Means the notebook hdd should be attached to a pc using a ide adaptor. The data will be more stable and correct hdd size will be reported accurately.   |

Help Help Help !!!
 I lose my 127 GB data after using Partition Magic v8.5 performed the Resizing Partition & Creating Partition. Data gone because in the middle of process Partition Magic doing Resizing have "error", and turn my harddisk partition into very weird partition name #D~*) instead of D and it show my drive partition have 127GB free space. Holy shit...  Problem: 127Gb data gone Root Cause: Middle of process of partition magic doing partition resizing (i do this bcos plan to created another partition) Drive Info: Seagate 200GB PATA detected as 127GB; created under 1 NTFS partition (127GB) OS: Winxp Pro (no service pack) Currently, i already recreated this drive (200GB) into 2 partitions under NTFS and running system now. However, i still want to recover back my previous data if there is a chance even need to erase my current system files. this is ok as long as able to get back data So, with using Active Recovery or Ontrack Easy Recovery pro, is it will successfully cover back my previous single NTFS partition with 127GB fully data?

I had the same problem too. My NTFS somehow changed to RAW due to i suspect faulty cables + Nvidia stupid IDE drivers which caused my lots of troubles with cd-roms + hard disk.
I used Getdataback for NTFS. I got back some of my files. It can scan for previous data even u've formated the drive. As long as u didn't fully erased the disk( writing all ZEROS into the drives). |

I've used partition magic to merge to drives
Drive D and Drive E. All the files in Drive E will be put into 1 folder in Drive D, assume the folder name is "myfiles". After partition merged, I try to open "myfiles" folder but it mentioned that I got no access rights! What happened? Any idea? |
