Corrupt filestructure

January 8th, 2010, 23:06

Hi, I hope anyone can help me with my problem..

When starting up the computer, the power suddenly got cut off in the whole street. When we had electricity again, I noticed the filestructure of my main HDD was corrupted so I had to do a format and re-install of windows.

The sad thing is that my second HDD (FAT 32), where all my backups are located, also suffers from a damaged file system. Most of the data (70%) is perfect accessible though, but some files and folders are now showing as unknown files with the size of 64kb.

Windows checkdisk couldn't solve the problem. I also tried the program "Recover my Files, V4.4", but that wasn't a success neither. I hope anybody over here can help me out.

You even made is worse than it was before.
CHKDSK is a killer programe in such cases.

Who the hack told you to do that (sorry) ?

And - do NOT install any new progrome into this (defect) system:

- Take your hard disk out of pc
- make a sector-by sector clone onto another hard disk (if that is possible for you)
- put the clone (or original if no other way) into different 2nd pc
- install programe(s) to surch for lost data(structure) into 2nd pc

If you are in any way unsecure how and what to do - look for a pro
