Hard drive Crashed and I need an ASR Floppy.

[Robert J. Stevens]

I am trying to help a friend restore her XP. The Hard drive Crashed and
I need an ASR Floppy.
It was a IBM 40 Gig Deskstar. It shows a 33.1 Meg Non Dos part and a 38
Meg NTFS Partition.
I can access with the Recovery Console but I don't have another 40 Gig
to create an ASR floppy. If somenone has a similar system and can run
the Backup to create the ASR it will be greatly appreciated. I have been
trying to find a program that will allow me to salvage the files she
needs. Dell gave her a New Disk and she is up and running but I am
hopeing to recover her Data files Three years of work most are Word
Perfect files. I can find the files but don't have the Full recovery
Program. If I can get the disk working again. I have a small XP
Installation running so can move the files from disk to disk
I've got Chkdsk /R running but will takes ages to complete if it even
DOES
TIA
Bob in Wisconsin

Hello Robert,
Was the ASR floppy your friend created lost?
Was the ASR backup done to the same disk as the files were on or to another
disk or was it done to a tape drive?
Where is the ASR backup file located? Where is the data backup file
located?
Look at this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299526

ASR is only used with an ASR backup, so there had to have been an ASR
backup to ge able to use an ASR floppy disk.

Thanks,

I have it Won't work in this case.
I did finally get the Recovery Console to run and the Repair is a 7%. Will
take days but maybe I'll get the drive runnable enough to use as a Slave then
I can move the files I want off to another Drive
Thanks for the Response

They didn't run a Backup. I can't as the Drive is BAD. I was hoping someone who
had a similar setup had ran a ASR Backup and could send me a copy of their ASR
Floppy.
Might not need as I got the Repair Console running and it is trying to fix the
Drive now at 7% after hours but still running
Thanks

Hello Robert,
that wouldn't help you, one of the first things ASR does is format the
drive, then it restores the backup.
you would lose all the data on the drive.
Thanks,
