I just had one of my drives spontaneously corrupt itself. One of the partitions is in tact, albeit empty, the other partition seems to have completely dusappeared...with ~100GB worth of data, including a lot of stuff I'll probably never be able to get back. Some of it was backed up to CDs, but a lot of it (lots of video files) are probably completely lost.
I'm running Windows 2000 and it was an NTFS partition. I was trying to run DVD Shrink, the system spontaneously rebooted, I switched to DVD Decrypter, it ripped the files fine, then as soon as I tried to actually burn them, Nero told me the partition was inaccessible. I went through Windows Explorer trying to figure out what's happening, and everytime I click on the drive, it tells me it's unpartitioned and needs to be formatted.
Does anyone have any ideas how to recover something, or is this a total loss?
