Sorry, I was away over the weekend
I'm also a bit concerned about the deleting of sectors, although luckily only the C: area first partition has been affected (unless youre really unliky)
Since I was the first one to mention zapping sectors, I should point out I only suggested altering the first sector (the partition table) to temporarily make all partitions invisible
and assumed one would record the previous values before zapping it

A scanning tool like Restorer2000 etc should be able to scan the area where the E: partition was and find if any files are recoverable
but its very strange that tools are having physical problems reading the drive again
even though an earlier mhdd scan was able to read all the sectors ok


Since you have very valuable data on the drive, you need to seek professional help, or accept the risks of investigating further yourself

splildit: re you sure the MHDD screen shot shows the HPA set
as I dont see that
but maybe I'm not looking at it right

That would certainly stop any tools from accessing sectors on the later part of the disk, if they assumes it was a simple 80GB (76GB) drive

Right now im not doing any thing with my disk i just put it in the box ... even now i have a extra 80gb hdd( as Spildit asked extra hdd for clone)...
...................................................................


but last time i put 500000 in the starting box or restore2000 but the problem is same... showing errors.... and then i left resotre2000 to scan .. even showing error ...but till the end it shows the error and then completed.. with errors i done with extra hdd's xp os... i connected damaged HDD and install restore2000 on extra HDD's OS and start scan.....
........................................................................



restore2000 can scan drive e: when he is able to see it..... coj the e: drive is not readable to any software.... once i try the Prosoft file recovery option in this prosoft menu... that took 1 hr and show me list of c: drive data and d: drive data but not showing any information or any file of e: drive.... c: and d: files are in recoverable form.... but that are not in my important files list...
................................................................................



please tel me wht is the fun of that ... why i do that thing ?.. i do not need that tricks, i dont want to increase the size of my disk...... and i dnt think that it is connected with my problem... this is just a additional thing so stop placing any extra info in this forum... coj this ll be harmful for another future coming person on this forum....
...........................................................................................



yes you may be right...but when i read your reply then i feel OMG wht i done.. then i want to saw is there bad sectors.. then i again start MHDD software and with F4, i started scan .. after scan complete ... MHDD not show any error or any bad sectpor in *BBK: .But Prosoft file recovery show 33 bad sectors and able to recovery c: and d: drive files... now which one is giving me right info MHDD or Prosoft File Recovery....
...........................................................................................
...........................................................................................

Now in the end i just want to explain my problem again....

these software(MHDD, Prosoft,HDD scan, etc) all are able to work with c: and d: drive and able to scan the surface and able to get the data back...

but the main drive is not able to scan, not able to show data even not able to show where is that 40GB gone...

...............
again i want to explain wht happend in the bigging

this is the information before problem
c: 7gb ntfs d: 20gb ntfs e: 50gb ntfs.....

and

this is when i was trying to move 5gb to c: drive and power cut and pc shutdown then again i started pc
c: 7gb ntfs d:20gb ntfs e:45gb ntfs.... 5gb unallocated drive.....

and then i move 5gb unallocated to c: drive and restart the pc ... and then
c:12gb ntfs d:20gb ntfs e:35.8MB ntfs

now when ever i scan drive with Hirens bootable cd's software like hdd scan etc... some show c:12gb, d:20gb and e:35mb but some not .. random output is there of each software scan...

now my heart believe that the partition e:35.8MB which is displaying is not the my e: drive... may be when i moving unallocated 5gb to c: drive then that part is left from paragon disk partition software of unallocated space and crated a new partition...or may be paragon software moved my e:drive partition table information to that space.... and with 2 software mess with each other like first i done work with paragon and when i saw it is not solving problem fully and paragon hide my 45gb then i run the partition magic... may be in that section my original e: drive lost some where else ...


But if i use clone method then problem ll be the same ... from where i ll find what happen with original e: drive and how i ll get data even now not able to read the 45gb...

now i have hdd but not having the will to do now again...coj of one person...

I told you what happened. The fact you don't get other answer is an answer itself. Why don't you get professional help?

BlackST i think your English is not so good. .... or may be ur not ready properly, just increasing ur post numbers now 2659 nd when you reply again that ll be 2660 conx ..... and i cleared last time that im looking for a professional in my city if i ll not able to find any pro in my town then i ll move to big city for that ... but right now im not dong any thing with my hdd nd i place it in box.... is that clr

Good luck. Really. And if possible get explained what happened and the corrective actions.

BlackST I'm new to hddguru but going thro' the post I guess u guys all confused him.
He just wanted to get his stuff from the e-drive. U guys should have asked him his pc level before giving him all the tech stuff. Put urself in his shoes and just try to figure out what next. So now there are deleted partitions and a whole lot of stuff he can't remember. My sugestion is that

1. He get a pc with windows up and running
2. Connect the hdd by usb to the pc.
3. Wait to have it show up computer management
4. Use software to recover data from e-drive

Another alternative
1. Attach the hdd directlly to the pc board
2. Insert winxp cd in drive
3. Run a chkdsk /r on the drive to fix any hdd errors/free space
4. Then go back to the 1st alternative


Please Make things Simple for others For U might be in that same position

Thanx

@felibo,
read carefully the whole thread and find my 1st post in it, you'll realize what happened exactly and make yourself an opinion.

BlackST,

U should not have jumped on the bandwagon with ur next post of when did the block 0 stuff. U helped the others, nobody told him to stand back and take a look at what he was doing. If u work at a helpdesk u would know what ideas people come up with and PLEASE it takes time to convince people u know more than they do. U signed up to assist and learn in the forum so keep it up. Please this is not a lecture.

Thanx

No, I signed up to get in touch with pros, in far 2006, sorry...

Hi felibo,

Do you work at a helpdesk?

Would it be easy to convince you?

Please, just some questions.

my all data recovered back....

Coool

I need to know how did you recover your files , I have the same problem.

Thanks
