Notebook HDD a lot of Data missing

November 10th, 2010, 6:11

hi guys,

I've got a big problem.
My notebook hdd is crashed.
error: NTLDR is missing.
But I don't have access to the HDD when its in my notebook.
I bought a usb docking station, now I have access to my HDD,
but there are only 3GB out of 70GB data and only data trash.
I miss all of my datas on my hdd :-(

Do you have any ideas to get on my datas?
There are deleted but don't know how that could be.
Are there some data recovery software I can use now?

Oh man, I'm so down now :-(

Thx a lot!

Michael

Get the disk out of the laptop and connect it to a desktop as a secondary. Then if recognized by the BIOS try to use one of those free logical data recovery tools on the net to get to your data. But the first choice as always, if you really want your data, is to go to a pro.

The first thing I would do before throwing all manner of data recovery software at the problem is to examine the damage.

To this end, you can capture the MBR, partition table, and boot sector(s) with Microsoft's Sector Inspector:2

Extract the above archive to the one folder and execute the SIrun.bat file. The procedure will generate a report file named SIout.txt.
