About that last sentence: yes!!! I had this same problem when I transferred my old HDD into my new PC: some folders were OK, others were corrupted and some moviefiles gave me blocky images. I formatted the HDD which failed and I ended up buying a new one. Backup all your stuff, you won't regret it. About Data recovery tools: I have tried various programs in the past and none of them worked. It depends on how f00ked the HDD is. |

I had a corrupt HDD a couple of months ago and it was totally fubar, I went into the technical issues here. The program I used to try and recover the stuff was on Usenet at the time and I reckon if I'd recently done a defrag before the crash then I might have had a high success rate but as it was I lost just about everything. |

Using windows? run checkdisk! |

Unless your partition is totally goosed in which case windows sees it as raw disk space and can't chkdsk it. |

Try the Inside Security Rescue Toolkit (INSERT). It's meant for such issues: http://www.inside-security.de/INSERT_en.html |

Since I last posted I've had another try and File Scavenger gives much better results but still expect some corruption. |
