NTFS Partitions suddenly unreadable and transformed into RAW-Partitions?

J

Joerg Battermann

Hello everybody,

I saw today that all of a sudden I am no longer able to read to of my
partitions because windows 2000 (sp4) says, the partitions are
unreadable and asks whether it shall format them. They used to be ntfs
partitions and all this happend from out of nowhere. I got the vendor's
(wdc) diagnostic tools.. ran them for hours on the hdd - and they say
it's fine - but how do I get my partitions/data back?! what can i do?

the corresponding eventlog entries are:

The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please
run the chkdsk utility on the volume F:.


Any ideas?

Best regards & thanks,
