Before I run chkdsk on a drive, I want to make sure there's not some
other better way, so I thought I should ask some advice. My primary
hard drive died. Using a thing called the SimpleTouch HDKit that
allows you to turn any hard drive into a USB drive, I hooked drive up
to my backup PC and find I cannot access it as it is corrupted, I ran
chkdsk on it in read-only mode (i.e. without the /f flag) and it found
a few errors, which I assume it could fix. But I'm wondering how much
that will screw up the disk. My hope is I can recover most of the data
off it, so I just don't want to do anything that might permanently make
a lot of that data inaccessible. So, is the best thing in this
situaiton chkdsk, or is there something that would do a better job of
restoring my data?
This is what chkdsk says:
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
Deleted corrupt attribute list entry
with type code 128 in file 35125.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, $J)
from file record segment 11430.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, $J)
from file record segment 27092.
File verification completed.
Deleting orphan file record segment 11430.
Deleting orphan file record segment 27092.
Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.
