Eeeeek !
My hard drive crashed, would just about boot into Windows 7 but kept going really slow and hanging. So tried Safe Mode and it kept getting stuck and wouldn't boot either Ughhh. So, I did several chkdsk's, as it kept cycling, which did no good and then it wouldn't boot at all.
Right, so, I did a HDD Regenerator from Hirens boot disk to recover 661 bad sectors, as it said it wouldnt delete data.
Then I have used Partition Wizard to scan for lost partitions and I'm not sure what to do next as I have...
100mb system reserved and the rest of the 2TB unallocated..... but I also have about 10 lost/deleted boot partitions (overlapping).
I presume my data is still there so my questions are these....
What has happened?
Can I make this Windows drive boot again?
If so....how?
Do I need to delete/merge these partitions or need to fix the MBR or what really?
If you delete partitions, does that delete corrupt Data?
Your help would be much appreciated.
