You are definitely wright, but whenever I saw a dum question where I hoped that
nobody will reply, a short time later one finds an answer - usually arguing about the
incomplete question.

Perhaps Dmitry could not only put the mentioned few sentenses but also following
information to a "starter screen":

If your data has no or minor value - please - do mention this in your request. A
new harddisk and a new installation of your system is most probably cheaper than
to play and look around in the internet and waste your and others valuable time.

If you have problems with a harddisk which contains important (valuable) data:

- any kind of manipulation with the harddisk or with software could hinder a data
retrieval or could cause an enourmous increase of the retrieval costs.
- do not use any software - even if some guys (internet) told you to do so ....
- do not run chkdsk or defragmentation - even if you are told to do so
- do not open a harddisk if you dont have the knowledge, training and the tools
(even then you may expect to loose the data ....)
- contact a (local) DR company - supply them with complete information
- perhaps this forum could guide you to find the right DR company

I Agree

My friend(s), the trouble is we don't understand the value of some porn and mp3 and warez... Backup, backup, backup... What's backup?
