I set my computer to hibernate last night. I boot up today, everything seems fine. Turned on the music, and it keeps skipping through all the tracks. I checked, and turns out that my entire data drive [D:\] is unreadable. I tried a few programs and I can see that all the files are intact on the drive. Windows doesnt see them, but it can recognize the physical drive. One totally foolproof option is to buy a new HDD [this one is 120 gigs and it's almost full], recover all the data to the new drive, and reformat this one - but right now I cant do that. CHKDSK ran once for me but now it says: "The type of the file system is NTFS. Unable to determine volume version and state. CHKDSK aborted." Norton Disk Doctor also gives an error when I try running it. In some program I encountered some stuff about MFT having errors, and I'm not sure if/how those can fixed. I dont know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: PartitionMagic finally sees the partition.. before it said it was (BAD) or something :confused:

EDIT2: Norton Disk Doctor says: "Unable to access drive D:. The volume does not contain a recognized file system."
 
Yea.. thanks for the help, guys :) I really appreciate it. Gonna go the backup-and-reformat route. Yay, so quick and simple.
