then i found this software(awesome btw)... started it up, it detected the drive. i selected the drive(1000GB/931GB) analysed it(intel/pc, i assume it is correct?) it shows up a single partition. the drive indeed had only 1 partition... i pressed p to list files... it said filesystem damaged.. i tried the MBR option. rebooted... nothing, so repeated all the steps till analyse and i went into deeper search... it's going on in the background.. cylinder 821/121601.... only 2 read errors till now
1. 0/0/7
2.391/191/63
will this repair the HDD or just waste time?
INFO:
toshiba 1 TB
HPFS -NTFS
win 7 ultimate 32 bit
i did not format, partition, encrypt or anything such thing with the HDD...
any help would be really helpful... i cannot try photorec as i dont have additional 1 TB to recover
