Hello guys I need your help SAP!
--PROBLEM:
I am into digital video editing and I am using an 120gb Hard Disc (Through an external USB2 box) for my video files for the last year or something and yesterday the most strange thing happened. I will recall you the events in series:
1. I connected my external HDD-box as usual. Everything OK.
2. I open NERO to burn some data from the external HDD-box but while writing on DVD-RAM NERO crashed and i had to alt+Ctrl+Del to exit.
3. I get a msg from Win XP's task bar that it had a Write FAilure Error on one of the hard discs and suddently the computer goes BLUE Screen crazy and starts dumbing memory. This has happened a more than a few times before and I always ignore it.
4. i shut down my PC through the POWER button because i am bored and go watch GHOSTBUSTERS for the 100th million time. Everything OK.
5. I start up my PC to burn that dvd-ROM again. Everything OK.
6. I connect my HDD-box again but i see that it doesnt get regognized. Everything NOT OK!
7. I reconnect my HDD-Box various times but i see that i my luck is little, the HDD doesnt get regognized so I head over to MY COMPUTER. I start to get scared.
8. In my computer i can see the external HDD but I also SEE THAT MY PARTITION IS LOST. EVERYTHING NOT OK BY A MILLION!
9. I try various stuff with my last solution being running "RECOVER MY FILES" which is a REcoveirngLostFiles SW. I have been running it for 7hours, 20min and 24sec and it's still like 20% done or something like that.....
My problem is that if i let it to finish it will take more than a day and YES it will find my lost files but they have all lost their original filenames which is a major problem for me if you concider that I have a gazzillion files.
--QUESTION:
1.Is there a way to relocate the missing partition back to it's original state?
and
2.IF I can't do the above is there somekind of software that will help me get the old filenames back at least?
Thanks guys I am waiting for your replys.
Cheers.
