A Toshiba MK1652GSX HDD with two partitions under Windows, the second one is accessable, but boot partition not recognized, and very hard to access.
The only way I could access and rescue the data was as follows:
1) Prepare an auxiliar blank HDD, and save TESTDISK 6.14 on it;
2) With both HDD attached to a desktop PC, boot with BART-PE CD;
3) Try to run CHKDSK /F /R /X, in the COMMAND LINE;
4) Even if unsuccessful, run TESTDISK, FILESYSTEM tool option, and LIST FILES on damaged partition;
5) Use this option of TESTDISK to COPY all the folders to the auxiliary HDD (you may select various folders with ":").
I could rescue 100% of the data.
Formatting with Windows or HDD Low Level Format Tool 4.25 fails. At 52%, system crashes and the drive emits a weird sound (MP3 attached). Even if disconnecting the device, the failing sound persists.
I then partitioned the drive into 3: first with 52% (formatted OK); second partition with 2% (OK after third attempt), not formatted; third partition with the remaining disk space, formatted OK.
I am now saving the data back to the drive and proceeding with full Windows reinstall.
Could anybody explain what causes the drive to crash at 52%, but operate well if not reaching that part of the disk?
Thank you!
Regards,
Max.
