Partition recovery failed, WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1

#1 Post by roverman »

Hello! Today I discovered that I couldn't enter my E:\ drive, it is telling me it needs to format.
I have used Testdisk before with success so I thought I would try it now also. Everything seems to work and it says I just need to restart but after restart it is still the same.
I am using Windows 7 x64, I have started the program as admin and I can see the files and folders in Testdisk.
I will start to copy the files to my backup drive but if anyone has any ideas I would be greatful!

PS.
Previous successful attempts were on WinXP, perhaps I am missing something?

The log:

It looks like your file system is damaged!
That's why to copy /backup data is a good idea!
Afterwards you can try chkdsk driveletter: /r to repair your file system.
Some messages about your file system;

Code: Select all

Failed to calculate number of free MFTs: Input/Output error.
NTFS filesystem need to be repaired.

Ok, I will try chkdsk after I've copied the files. Thank you for the speedy reply! :)
