Hello,

Im in desperate need for help. I have lost one of my data/files hard drives, and naturally, its my most important one. It contains all my photos from the past few years, and a lot of other data thats important to me.

~The fault basically is that the drive has 'no' filesystem. It appears as 'Local Disk (L:)' and does not show any information, i.e. NTFS, size, free space etc. - When clicked, it announces that 'L:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.'

~I have tried to use the Hirens boot CD which uses DOS based programs to retrieve data. Didn't work... Im still looking into this mind you.

~The drive is a WD2500 ATA hard drive, bought last year.

Thanks for your help, and i really hope someone can!

Just an update:

Im pleased to announce that 'GetDataBack (NTFS)' has my full support and admiration.

It recovered 100% of my files from my 'dead' drive. Also, the drive is back to fully working status. Woohoo!

Best. Software. Ever.
