I have bad sectors on my harddrive. I hooked it up as a slave on another computer. We can see the harddrive however I cannot locate folders or files related to my profile/account. Then the pc I was using got a virus and I ran two different virus software systems – During both scans I saw it scan the missing folders however I cannot navigate to the file path specified. I use XP. I put the HD back into the original pc and loaded Winternals but still cannot find the missing files/folders when I explore the HD. Seeing as how the virus scans saw my folders and files does this mean that they are recoverable and can I do this on my won without sending it to a recovery specialist?
