HDD Model : Hitachi HDP725032GLAT80
Lost Data :
C: NTFS (Partition Deleted)
D: NTFS (Partition Deleted)
E: NTFS (Partition Deleted)
F: NTFS (Partition Deleted)

I lost my partitions,
A small cable is in the backside of my hard disk that connect board of hard into interior it. (hope understand my mean about which cable!) for some wrong reasons I unplug that cable and when i plug it again it i saw it doesn't boot, so boot windows from another hard disk and when I enter my disablement HDD I understood all of my partitions (C - D - E - F - all are NTFS) is lost. I still don't any recovery attempts.
All of my data is very very important for me and i want to recover my partitions (recover in the same address in drives that was before deleted). Also i saw a small table that write on top of it "NMB 2-1" and at the bottom of it "GMN-2" . i think it's a way to recover for this happenings. any way i want to know how can i recover my partistions. Im hopeful find a way. please, please. please help me.
Thank you very much

Thanks for reply spildit
at the hard back side is a very small wire (about 2 inch long) that connected betwen board of hard and center of hard disk. i unplug it and now have this problem

also in backside of my HDD a small table drawed. at the top of this table write NMB 2-1 and at the bottom write GMN-2. two cells of this table are signed. i guess this table try to say me instruction about recover board of HDD (formating problem by unplug that very small cable).
Of course maybe i mistake and the instruction table for other things

if you cant figure my mean yet i can take a picture of the part that im talking about it and upload it.
(So soory for my english )

I think that's the ribbon that connects the spindle to the PCB ?
Why did you unplug it ? Did you unplug it with the drive turned off ?If you have disconnect it with the power off and then connect it again it should pose no problem. The only problem that i see is that if you remove that ribbon with the drive working ....
Are you sure the drive is spinning and that the ribbon is hold in place properly ?

As for the table it would help to have a picture but i can guarantee that it won't help you at all to fix your problem.
Is the drive detected on the bios ? Is the drive spinning ?

Exactly
My mean is the ribbon thau you talking about it
Now i have to give more details:
Two hole of the IDE cables is blocks. I plug my IDE cable inverse and 2 block holes push two pins off HDD into the HDD. But still Bios detect HDD and i could boot windows and access data. so at that time there is no problem. any way i want to be sure. So i open the PCB, unplug the ribbon and push back the two pins of IDE port. then i give back the PCB on HDD and plug again the ribbon. then goto bios and see my HDD still detect. but my windows not booting. i used a maxtor HDD on my pc for boot the windows, now i have two hard disk on my pc. when i want to access my data i understand all my hitachi partition is deleted and i have to re create partitions. the hitachi is no problem and i can create new partition and use it again, but i need my data
im expert, many times i have many problems, i could resolve them, but i have not any idea about this one
realy thanks for your reply

If the data is important you better takke the drive to a data recovery house near you.
If you would like to gamble a little bit, just get another drive big enough to copy the data from the bad drive to and run Partition Find and Mount on the bad drive. If it finds the partitions just copy the data that you want to the good drive and don't use the bad one anymore.
If i'm reading correctly you stored your own copy of your critical data that you coudn't live without on a drive with damaged IDE pins .... if i were you i would have backed up as soon as i fix the drive for the first time .... You re-used a damaged PCB and gamble with your data ... you have a 2nd chance .... let's hope that you have a 3rd.

I have in bad drive some data such as porn video, im in iran and if some recovery house get this data so thay can bother me, because in this country porn is illegal.


I accept this way, but whats your mean about run partition find , is this a software? if not whats your recommend for a powerfull software for recover partitions?


yes, thats right, now i buy a Seagate 1 TeraByte and all of it is in free space,(i have no data) if i restor my data dont use bad drive anymore.


Surly

Adult porn video should be fine. Hope that it's not paedophilia porn video or child porn. Otherwise you will have what you deserve and you can consider yourself lucky for your data loss.



Partition Find and Mount is a software to find partitions and mount them as a drive letter of your choice. You can copy the data out to another drive and the software will not write to the damaged disk (like testdisk does).
It's free and can be found here :

http://findandmount.com/



If it's a Seagate 7200.11 drive it was a very bad choice. Those drives are full of firmware problems not to mention spindle/head problems etc ... Those drives might very well be the worse drives ever made and you will be in trouble again very soon. I advice you to buy a Samsung 500 GB drive.

_________________

Yes, its 7200. I heared before this about that seagate is a bad choice for the same problems that you say. But unfortunately now i bought it any way i get your proposal and i will buy a samsung as soon as possible. But 1TB samsung. Also i download partition find and try to recover my data.

Really thank for you help Spildit

Your welcome.
Just let us know if the software have found your data and if you were able to copy it out....

Time to use a sector edit to analyze sector by sector Find boot sector´s concordance, MFT Structure´s records, and find the problem , could be shifted , overwritted MFT , etc l

I think it might be translator problem or LBA shift caused by problems on the defect lists ....

You can try running your data copy with WinHex and see the signature of the files and partitons. Win Hex can do a raw recovery of your files also. Yuou were not able to restore your partitions or find them. Try and rebuild your partition table and try again with get data back. If translator problems then you need to take into specialist to have drive worked on sorry for that one

Dear Spildit, Dear poehere and Dear beto,
Thank you very very much,
I can recover and copy all of my 320 GB Lost data in original files and folders location with GetDataBack 3.64
I scan my HDD with GetDataBack in step 1
and in step 2 i saw that i can choose the file system to get display of recovery tree. at the first i choose that one show me all 298 GB, But now i know that it choice can recover 0% of my data. So i understand one thing. back to step 2 and this time i understand that i can recover my HDD by Percent between MFT Starts and File Starts. that percent means is all of my data can recover in multi sections. so in step 2 i choose the titles that show me most percent and in the every choice i go to step 3 and copy a piece of my data into my new HDD. Finally i could recover (Copy) all of my data in 4 Section in my new HDD in the Original Files and folders location.
I think my english is not so good. so i upload this pictures for better understanding.
and now i really recommend GetDataBack to every one for recover lost data. It's very very powerfull. i can't belive it that can Restore 320 GB of my Lost data.
thank you so much again friends

Thanks for sharing your experience also.
Now Backup, Backup, Backup !
