A program recently crashed my hard drive in xp. The hard drive was my secondary back-up drive. No O/s is on this hard drive but there is a lot of personal data on it. Cmos see the hard drive correcly.
The hard drive is a ‘jts corporation champion model c2100-2af’. 2000mb hard drive. And as far as I know JTS Corp filed for bankruptcy in 1999.
Various messages I’ve gotten
Scandisk from boot disk: stops at 38% complete, shows message ‘scandisk encountered a data error while readingthe fat on drive D:’
Windows’s exploerer XP: After clicking on drive, shows message ‘drive is not formated. Do you want to format now/”
dos prompt: C:> f: ‘data error
Chkdsk from Boot disk: c:> Chkdsk f: ‘The type of the file system is fat. Error reading folder \.”
Ontrack’s system rescue disk, Diskfixer: Only sees my 40gb drive and my floppy drive.
A: & B: 3.5 floppy drive
c: 40gb hard drive (o/s XP, partitioned to 38gb)
D: 40gb hard drive, same drive as c (o/s win95, partitioned to 2gb)
E: Cd-rw drive
f: 2gb hard drive (this is the drive I can’t access)
I just need to access the files on my 2gb drive so I can back them up to my 40gb drive. And then of course I’ll burn a cd with thesefiles.
I’m not sure on how to fix this.
