ZeroPenguins Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Oh wow, actually that happen to me the first time I tried dual booting. Also I lost my MBR (Master boot record). We both fail >.> But theses days I'm able to restore my MBR even if I destroyed it. We all feel the pain, trust me I know, when it happen to me, I was like ZOMG!!.

† ballard Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 This really sucks. I definitely feel for you man... You should buy a back up hard drive to put all your important stuff on just in case this were to ever happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Irish Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 the funny thing is I have like 4 drives connected to my PC.... LMAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I normally create a system restore point in a seperate partician every week. Makes it so that I dont lose my stuff. Though luckily I havent killed off entire hard drives before unless they just stop working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmingllama Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Care to share any names of that software?Diskdigger is a powerful one and will find even fragments of a file, however is a bit slower. Undelete Plus is one thats good for finding stuff you just deleted, but will find alot less and give less information than diskdigger. Both are free too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroPenguins Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well a good chance of restoring 80% or so of the data on the HDD if you didn't format it twice or written data over it with an undelete tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolockit Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Try testdisk or ddrescue if you're feeling adventurous and want to attempt salvage. Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
