Master File Table recovery

by thetominator . Updated 13 years, 4 months ago

I have a Dell Dimension E310, Pentium 4, 3.2GHz, 2 GB RAM, with Windows Media Center Edition on my C drive. I also have a second Seagate Barracuda disk (1 TB) for my data which is my D drive (Data). When I boot up I get the BSOD reading –

Checking file system on D:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Data.

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you contine.
Windows will now check the disk.
Corrupt master file table. CHKDSK aborted.

I can access the C drive through Explorer, but cannot access my D drive any more. When I try, it reads…”D:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

How can I restore the master file table for my D drive. Not just recover data to another drive (which I don’t have). Please help!!!
