Recovering an NTFS partition
 

I've got a big problem...

My computer hanged up while copying some files to the NTFS partition under Win98 (using NTFSforWin98).

Next time I wanted to start Win2k I've got BSOD (INVALID_BOOT_DEVICE). After checking the disk, Win2k came up but the NTFS partition became unreadable. The volume lable is corrupted, too.
ChkDsk says:
Unable to determine volume version and state. CHKDSK aborted.
PartitionMagic 8:
bad file record structure.

I need help with restoring the data.

Try GetDataBack for NTFS, hxxp://www.runtime.org

good luck

try using NTFDSdos to recover files. sometimes this really helps
I thnk you have enabled compression on Ur NTFS.


Additionally U can try disk commander from winternals.- supports recovery from ntfs partitions also.

one thing is U avoid writing to that partition as far as possible since it may weaken ur chances of recovering.

Good luck

Did U recover Ur partition?

do U have a licence key for NTFSforWin98 version 2.

Dang this board loads slow today.


Try putting the drive in another computer as slave, and then using File Scavenger on it.

You can try this.

Boot up Windows 2000 with the CD.
Chose "repair installation"
Chose Recovery console
write "fix boot"
write "fix mbr"

I cannot garanty these methods.

Download a copy of R-Studio FAT, then patch it to accept NTFS file systems (5 minute job). There's also a demo, but it's a lot more difficult to hack as you need to actually generate a lot of code yourself.

I was in the same trouble. NTFS98 hangs computer and after that XP was not able to load.
But i fixed this problem by using
ntfschk.exe /f
(this file is in directory where NTFS for win98 was installed)
