Data recovery by laudablepuss 06/29/2005, 1:50pm PDT
I have a hard drive, apparently in good physical condition, that has lost the block information that NTFS uses to keep track of files. There's a name for that I'm sure, just don't know what it is. So the data is there but the pointers are gone. That means that as far as windows is concerned, it's never been formatted. Do you want to format? Yes/No. FUCKING NO GODDAM IT.

No idea how it happened either. It was in the machine working fine, I tried to open a folder and got the message that the drive isn't formatted. Hmm. Opened another folder on the drive and it was fine. Okay, reboot. Oops, now I can't open anything.

Can anything be done for this POS? :(

    It can be fixed but you have to pay someone. See the yellow pages. NT by Ray of Light 06/29/2005, 2:16pm PDT NEW
