I used a Samsung SATA HDD, 1TB capacity, and from some time I can't restart the computer. It is not boot HDD, is the second HDD. Now I can't acces it, Windows ask me to format and disk management report it as 32MB. What software do you advise me to use to correct the bad geometry on it?

Thanks for hint. The software restore my HDD geometry, but now the partition is shown unformatted. Can I recover my data?
 
If you have a Gigabyte motherboard with an Xpress Recovery BIOS, then a bug in the BIOS has incorrectly truncated your drive after backing up a copy of the BIOS in a HPA.

See the following thread for an explanation and solution:
http://forum.hddguru.com/lost-partition-hitachi-1gb-hdt721010sla360-t15662.html

If you have written to the drive while it was in the truncated state, then you will have probably corrupted the partition table. If that is all that you have done, then the solution is easy.

Could we see the partition table and boot sector with Microsoft's Sector Inspector?

Extract the above archive to the one folder and execute the SIrun.bat file. The procedure will generate a report file named SIout.txt.

PHYSICALDRIVE0 is the 1TB drive, PHYSICALDRIVE0 is a 320GB drive.

PHYSICALDRIVE0
121601 x 255 x 63 x 512 = 1 000 202 273 280 bytes

PHYSICALDRIVE1
38913 x 255 x 63 x 512 = 320 070 320 640 bytes

The partition table in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your 1TB drive has been corrupted by whatever software you used to "repair" it.

Firstly, the partition's boot flag (BF) is not set, which means that the partition is not bootable.

Secondly, the End CHS values (45/254/63) do not correspond to the size of the partition.

===========================================================================
| B | FS TYPE | START | END | | |
| F | (hex) | C H S| C H S| RELATIVE | TOTAL |
===========================================================================
| | 07 | 0 1 1| 45 254 63| 63| 1953522993|

Thirdly, the boot sector (LBN 63) is empty. This could either be because your software trashed it, or because the drive was formatted with Vista or Windows 7, in which case the boot sector would be located at LBN 2048.

IMHO, the best way to approach your problem is to be patient and investigate the damage with a disc editor. Don't be tempted to throw all manner of data recovery software at the problem.

I would examine sector 2048. Look for an NTFS signature. I would also examine the contents of C/H/S 45/254/63, ie sector 738989, and sector 738990.

(45 x 255 x 63) + (254 x 63) + 63 - 1 = 738989

Could you upload the abovementioned sectors?

HDD wasn't formated with Vista or Win7, only on XP.
Indeed, I tried to fix it with fdisk /mbr.
It wasn't a boot disk anytime.
 
None of those sectors are boot records. It appears that FIXMBR is not the only thing you have done to your drive. In a typical Windows XP system, sector 63 (LBN 63) would be the boot sector of partition #1. Yours appears to have been zeroed. I suspect you may have initialised your drive.

Before letting data recovery software loose on your drive, I would examine LBN 64 and the next couple of sectors. Hopefully they haven't also been zeroed.

I would also search for a backup NTFS boot sector. Start at the end of the drive and search backwards for an "NTFS" text string. Type Ctrl-End to position the cursor at the end of the drive, Search -> Find, Datatype Text-String, Search direction Backward. Hopefully you will quickly find a sector that is similar to LBN 63 of PHYSICALDRIVE1. If so, then we may be able to use its contents to rebuild your partition table and boot sector.

Your drive has a single primary NTFS partition with a backup NTFS boot sector at 1953520064.

The number of "Hidden Sectors" is 63 (0x3F). This means that the partition begins at sector 63.

The total sectors in volume is 0x74705981 = 1,953,520,001.

The partition size is 0x74705981 + 1 = 0x74705982.

Use HxD to change the following bytes in sector 0 of PHYSICALDRIVE0 from ...

0x01c0 01 00 07 fe 3f 2d 3f 00 00 00 31 65 70 74 00 00

... to ...

0x01c0 01 00 07 fe ff ff 3f 00 00 00 82 59 70 74 00 00

Make sure you uncheck the readonly box.

After doing the above, you will have rebuilt the partition table as per the information in the backup boot sector. Reboot the computer and you should see your 1TB partition in Disk Management. Unfortunately you have also zeroed your NTFS boot sector at LBA 63, so the volume will not be visible in My Computer. You will need to restore this sector from the backup copy. At this point it may be safest to allow your data recovery software to do this for you. TestDisk (freeware) should be able to handle it.

BTW, I would scan your drive for BIOS related text strings such as the following:

"Award BootBlock BIOS"

"Can not Find BIOS Image in Hard Drive or Diskette"

Hopefully the BIOS wrote its backup to the end of the drive, beyond the last sector of your 1TB partition. If instead the backup was written at the 32MB point, then I would expect that you would have file system corruption.

You could use HxD as before to do the text search, in readonly mode.
