How to recover the Data of Hard disk

Sanket Agarwal · Jun 13, 2014

First time poster hope you will ignore the naiveness in the post.

I have a seagate 500 GB hard disk. I had unmountd it by just pulling out the USB cord.

I think this had led the hard disk being inaccessible now and error message "E:\ is inaccessible. The parameter is incorrect".

Disk Management provides the following

Disk 1 Basic 465.76 GB Online with following details:

(E

465.76 GB RAW Healthy (Primary Partition).

Is there any software by which i can recover this data?

Thanks in advance.

Try these steps one by one.
1. Boot with an Ubuntu Live disk and then try to access the drive and attempt recovery of the files.

if you don't have an Ubuntu disk or the above mentioned step is not working for you then try the one given below.

2. chkdsk /F /R /X Y: where Y: is the drive letter. (Please run this from the CMD prompt and ensure you are logged in with ADMIN. I cannot guarantee that this method will work a 100%. Do it at your own risk as if ""DONE WRONG"", you will lose all data that is on the drive.

If you used this method to rescue a failing disk, please be aware that your drive is not necessarily “fixed”. There is a good chance that the issue is hardware related, and T\the check-disk fix is likely only a temporary measure that might allow you to copy your data off the drive onto another media. If your hard drive failed this way once, chances are it will slowly deteriorate and fail again.

Can I download Ubuntu live disk and store in the computer hard disk and try to recover the data from the hard disk???

Have you tried to see if you can access the drive by booting up computer in 'safe mode'? (F8 key at boot up before windows logo appears)

Did you yet try running checkdisk from command prompt to check for disk errors? > run cmd.exe and type
chkdsk /F /R /X E:
or
chkdsk E: /F /R /X
and hit enter to run the command

And Yes, you can try accessing the drive off a Linux Live Disc, if it works, it shows you have an error in Windows rather than in your Hard Disk
