I have a pc with two operating systems on two separate drives, C drive has Win7 and D has Winxp. I can boot to either drive. In addition I have two dvdr drives E and F and Two more drives after that, Each of those drives has a partition bisecting it resulting in G/H and I/J. They are for games/movies and Stuff/backups respectively.
Recently I had to take out a SATA2 cable from the I/J drive and put it into another hard drive because I was backint up to an external drive. When I was done and put the sata cable back the entire drive wasn't recognized. After several reboots I got Backups to show up but not the Stuff partition.
I tried running a chkdisk when I did this I got an error saying they couldn't recognize the drive. I tried running recuva, the paid version and when I ran the wizard it said "path did not exist"
lWhen I went on to where it said "piriform recuva and entered the bad drive letter from browse it selected it but after several hours I got no files. I selected all files.
However I tried it again and selected pictures and I got some pictures.
I also ran chkdsk from the Command Prompt and Windws wasn't able to access the drive but it was able to access all the other drives.
I looked for the bad drive in Administrative Tools> Storage etc and it came up as RAW.
The drive shows up as K, Not K: Stuff. No other informatin is present. I try to open it and it won't open.
What do I do?
