I have 3 hard drives in my current rig. A Maxtor 40Gb, a Maxtor 120Gb, and a WD 200Gb. My OS and most apps are on my 40Gb, which still works. The 200Gb drive contains my videos that I pull from my camcorder and is in a usb external drive enclosure. The problem is my 120Gb drive. That contains my music, games, and personnal documents.
2 days ago I boot my PC, open windows explorer, and the 120gb drive (hereby known as the F: drive), doesn't show. I ran chkdsk and it told my I had problems with my MFT and that to fix it I had to run chkdsk /f. I wanted to check my options first so I try to open Partition Magic. On startup I get the error :
Init failed : Error 100.
Partition table is bad.
At that point I was pretty much ready to start crying. But instead I turned to google and found this. Basically the app claims it can repair partition tables. So I ran it, it scanned the drive for partitions (that took a glorious 32 hours), and it found NOTHING.
Oh dear god. So back to chkdsk I go. I run it with the /f option, but it did no good. My next step was to post here. Does anyone have any idea how I can either restore my drive's tables, or at least how I can pull the data from it? Or maybe I'm just screwed at this point... In any case, any help is most welcome!
