    0x72 means your drive has critical surface errors, and will never function correctly again. It needs to be replaced. Now, you said you popped in another drive from another computer and still got a blue screen. This is not surprising, as you can gather from this post: HERE.

    If that drive had a copy of Windows on it, it wouldn't have worked even on a new, problem-free, fresh out-of-the-box PC. Do you think this is what happened? The hard drive originally in the PC we're troubleshooting is definitely a goner.

    It did have a copy of windows on it.

    There is not way of recovery that information at all?

    I have already tried the first option, so I will try the second option.

    Does this run automatically from a CD on booting the computer? Explain please?

    All of the programs you see there run inside windows on a good, working PC, when the damaged hard drive is connected externally to that PC.

    So if I can't access the hard drive, how do I run the programs?

    So if you connect it to an external enclosure and plug it into a USB enclosure on a working PC, what exactly happens?

    What happens is that I try to access the drive and I get a message saying "the drive is corrupt or inaccessible."

    okay. The tools in that guide usually can circumvent such issues; if you have troubles with those programs type:

    CHKDSK /R X: -- where X: is the letter of the drive in windows in the START -> RUN box. If it asks you if you want to unload handles, tell it yes.

    I will try it now.

    I tried this and it says "you have to operate this utility in elevated mode." What? How?

    Got that.

    Need this:

    Convert lost chains to files? Y/N

    Find CMD.EXE in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. Right click it and hit "Run as administrator," then run the chkdsk /r x: again. Yes, convert lost chains to files.

    Where are they being sent to? Dumb question?

    Probably folders in the root of C:\ called RECOVERED.001, RECOVERED.002, and so on. They're usually just junk, damage files, however there is also a possibility that it's some of your data. In either case, it needs to be done to gain access to the drive, so you're in a slight lose/lose situation anyhow. If you feel uncomfortable about this, I strongly advise that you try TestDisk first.

    What is [SIZE=-1]photorec_win.exe used for?

    I have the files from the FAT32 but not from the NTFS. How can I change over to NTFS to get the files from there?
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    edited July 2007
    You have me confused. Are there multiple partitions on that hard drive, or...?

    Photorec_win is used to recover pictures from SD/CompactFlash and other digital camera cards.

    1 shows two in green. One is FAT32 HP_Recovery.
    2 shows P HPFS - NTFS HP_Pavillion.

    I want to get the files from 2. I have the files off of 1.

    Ah, you should be able to hit enter on that partition and either export files, or rewrite the partition and reboot to access it just like the guide says.

    Nope not showing up. Should I use CHKDSK instead?
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian

    Yeah, give it a shot.

    How can I choose that partition and the destination of those files using CHKDSK? Is that possible?

    Chkdsk will correct any errors on the drive, leaving any partitions on the drive (Hopefully!) accessible. If that fails, I strongly suggest GetDataBack for NTFS. Fantastic application! Yes, it's about $100, but it's well worth it if your data is super important to you.

    Still says file type is FAT32 in Chkdsk.

    go to start -> run and type: diskmgmt.msc

    Take a screenshot of that window and post it for me, please? :)

    Would this work:

    Using a command line


    <table class="numberedList" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td class="listNumber" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">1.
    </td><td>Open Command Prompt
    </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td class="listNumber" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">2.
    </td><td>Type:
    diskpart
    </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td class="listNumber" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">3.
    </td><td>At the DISKPART prompt, type:
    list partition
    Make note of the number of the partition that you want to mark as active.
    </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td class="listNumber" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">4.
    </td><td>At the DISKPART prompt, type:
    select partition n
    Select the partition, n, you want to mark as active.
    </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td class="listNumber" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">5.
    </td><td>At the DISKPART prompt, type:
    active
    </td></tr></tbody></table>

    We're going to accomplish the same thing from diskmgmt.MSC, hopefully, and it'll be a little safer to do it that way. I still need a visual representation of what's going on with your disks so I can tell you the precise command to get your show on the road. :D
