Unfortunately data is scattered all across platters, so until most of the drive is saved, you don't even have stuff like the MFT (stores the filenames of all the files in the partition) and can't access or mount or chkdsk the partition.

It's sort of an all-or-nothing situation. Once you've salvaged all that you can, chkdsk may be able to repair the holes in the filesystem, leaving you with most of your files.

But if it's critical that you get that stuff back, and you don't care if it costs $500-2000, then professional data recovery may be the way to go.

Your drive would have slight media damage from the drop causing multiple bad sectors. The only way to recover as much data as possible would be to create a image of the drive using hardware to read as many bad sectors as possible. This is considered a level 2 recovery. You can read more about it here www.southjerseydata.com

Yeah I figured it would be all over the place... So the MTF is like a TOC (used to see it on my MiniDisc screen when writing songs to it

)

And no I don't care if it would have cost me about 500€ (is $630) but I've e-mailed 4 companies and so far 2 answered and they ask both the same price: starts from 1200€ (is $1500) to 2178€ (is $2730)

$1500 "ok" , but $2730... pfff

Hopefully the other 2 are a different price but all those companies (here in Belgium) prolly s-h-i-t all from the same butt-hole...

EDIT: So do you think I better stop then? Since I'm not gonna run it for a year anyway...

Well, how far along is it now? It might speed up as it encounters less errors... or it might not.

Hmm... this might be a case where you have to shop around for other recovery places in Europe - or perhaps even on another continent. I know there's more affordable places out there, but I don't know if I'd chance mailing it off to the USA. Still, if the price difference is large enough, there's always FedEx Air.

Day 5:

Rescued: 2511MB

Avg Rate: 3761 Bps

Soooooooooo it sucks...

I'll quit this dude

Can you tell me what to do know? Or is a simple power down, remove Live CD and bad HDD enough? (and reboot PC to see if all is well

)

And then I can reinstall the stuff again on my good drive because I tought it was empty... Stupid me

I think you press Ctrl+C to interrupt DDrescue, then you can shutdown. Before doing that, you might want to use Gparted to format the drive to NTFS - I'm not sure how Windows reacts when it sees part of an NTFS partition.

Actually, the shutdown option may be missing - I think logout takes you back to a command prompt. Then you either press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot or type in shutdown -r now or shutdown -h now

Remove the LiveCD, power off, disconnect the bad drive, and then power on and boot Windows.
