Recover Data from Maxtor SATA

February 13th, 2006, 9:23

Hi!

My Maxtor S-ATA 120 GB HDD crashed this weekend, WinXP wont boot (error:: unmountable_boot_volume).
With the Ultimate Boot CD I used the MHDD tool and scanned the drive. It shows a lot of red Xs and full red sectors. So I guess there is a major hardware problem.
How can I at least recover some of the files without risking to destroy even more data (like using erase WAITS with MHDD)?
There are 60 GB of music on the 2nd partition I really dont want to lose...
Thanks in advance for your help!!

According to your description I think your H.D.D has a firmware problem. You can’t repair or recovery your files by general software. If you want you can send your information to my mail address (mehran@ihddc.net) that I can introduction a recovery center that will help you.
