Just recreate the partition and format the hard disk and use [Recovery my file] software to retrieve back as many as data you can.

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Jun 28 2008, 10:07 AM) For me i recovered a 100% deleted data ive used R-Studio i'm using r-studio now. the first scan ok. but when i try scan again for the second time it stuck. bad luck Added on June 30, 2008, 8:05 am QUOTE(asusfreak @ Jun 29 2008, 10:18 PM) buy a new one laa yup yup going to buy the 2.5" but need the data in 3.5" as well  Added on June 30, 2008, 8:08 am QUOTE(zer0hour @ Jun 28 2008, 10:07 PM) Professional data recovery is an extreme measure, meant for people who have very important data and a very badly damaged hard drive. OMG... yup, I already mark out professional data recovery from shop, so expensive! And yeah, I don't know a thing about low level format. Huhu...My friend had a 40GB that he dropped from about 5ft (GG!) and as a result the circuitboard cracked. He had no choice so sent for prof data recovery - they take the platters out and perform magnetic scan 1 by 1. Cost - about 1k plus. In your case, if it's just corrupt, yup, use software. Earlier there was a post about low level format. Do not do that lol. Added on June 30, 2008, 8:10 am QUOTE(haya @ Jun 29 2008, 10:13 AM) A 500GB external HDD: that tells me that it is a 3.5 inch. And most likely a SATA these days. I'm interested to know more about this method actually... However, although I haven't connect it directly to my mobo, I can still see the drive letter but it is in RAW format. Will I be able to see the real format of it (NTFS) if I take it out from the casing and connect it to my PC? But I'm so scared to open up the casing... Afraid that it might do further damage...Have you tried taking out the HDD and conecting it to the Mobo? I suspect it is a issue with the SATA-to-USB bus. In anycase, I recommed connecting the HDD DIRECTLY to the mobo, not via the USB bus, if you want to perform any form of data recovery. Personally I have a beef with SATA-to-USB buses, but the fact still remains you need some sort of low level access to do some types of data recovery, which USB is not capable of.

Much more portable and hopefully, much safer to plug n play! Added on June 30, 2008, 9:28 amI try using R-Studio Data Recovery first and see if it succeeds. Actually at first scan I successfully view all the files but then I forgot to save the scan information and now I have to scan once more. This is my third day of attempting recovery. I even have to repartition my hard disk several times just to get ample disk space to fill the data. Wish me luck and will keep you updated!  Added on July 1, 2008, 9:21 amtoday is the fourth day. i have successfully scan using r-studio but then during the recovery, it stuck in the middle. what heppen actually? and i want to know more about taking out the hard disk from the externalcasing. can it be done safely without damaging anything? mine is a complete set.
