HDD Corrupted
Posted: 12 Jul 2012, 09:00
Hey there i had recently bought an ssd and went through and installed it on my laptop, i took the old hard drive inside and put it in a usb caddy so i could have access to my old files,
long story short i decided i wanted to migrate the hdd to the ssd but since my hdd was twice as big i had to make it smaller with a partiton manger, i ended up going through and doing so but midway through the partitioning i knocked the wire and it disconnected so ive corrupted the specific partition on my drive.
Im able to access the other partitions fine except this one which is most important to me, I tried to run test disk but when i run the deeper search scan it hangs and freezes and i get the program not responding then the hang begins i get the same crashes/hangs with a few other recovery programs that recognize the drive but since it crashes i can never seem to fix the drive so im really stuck i think it has something to do with bad sectors from some google searches but i have no idea how to go about fixing my hard drive now and accessing the files i really need, test disk can see the files with the p command but recovering it is causing me so much difficulty especially as im a novice
sorrry for the rambling pls help me!!
