| Hi,
|
| Last night I was coping some files to my D: partition I
left the room
| when I got back windows had just booted back up and said
it was
| recovering from a serious error! Now the D: partition is
bad and asks
| me to format it! WTF!
|
| Oh and both the C: and the D: partitios are on the same
pysical
| drive... 120 WD drive
|
| The C: drive is acting up now and take a LONG tome to boot
up to
| windows and not everything loads! Plus everything tends
to run slow
| and timeout a lot...
|
| I guess this hard drive is toast or soon will be...
|
| Anyway I can recover my data on the D: partition cheaply?
I dont
| have $1000+ to pay for those data recovery service or
software...
|
| Is there a poor mans solution or am I just out of luck?
|
| Thanks for any help!
