Try the above on each disk in turn. There's an incredibly high probability that you won't be able to do anything with the data, but you can sometimes still see base-level information and this could potentially mean that even a "bad" disk can still hold a decent proportion of it's overall storage.
This means that if you have one decent disk, and one that has bad sectors, you could get more than no data back if you need to send it off....... | How do I know what connectors they use? What else besides SATA is there for this type.... I used the RAID on my Abit IP35 Pro, is there some way I can look it up?
I have the disks hooked in right now and when I try to access them it gives an error in XP Pro, "E:/ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" [i assume this is the one with the bad sector] and the other one says it s not formatted [i assume this is the good one].
Someone also suggested I try mirroring the bad drive over to the good one and maybe save more data that way. Do you know if that will work and how? |
