<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Wow James, <br>
You have a lot of good questions. <br>
The hard drive is the original on a Windows xp home computer. It
is an emachine so it is not a high end computer. <br>
It is the main drive for the computer. I pulled it out and have
connected it to one of my win 7 64bit computers via a usb
connection. <br>
It came prepartition off the shelf. <br>
<br>
I plan to reuse the hard drive if I can recreate the "C"
partition. I am in the middle of getting all images, text files
and music off the drive before I attempt to recreate the RAW
drive. <br>
I read one fix which said to give the RAW drive a letter then run
"chkdsk "X"/f and that might fix the partitions. I want to get
all the files off the drive first. <br>
I have tried several File recovery programs but the problem is
that each program only recovers a selection of files. What is
happening is that program A gets me the first 400 files and
program B gets me the <br>
next 300 files. I cannot find a program that will recover all the
JPG files at one time. <br>
So I am stuck on what to do next, because I do not want to
purchase several File Recovery Programs. <br>
Thanks for you info.<br>
Mike <br>

pull the drive and plug it into one of the Linux Boxes. If
the Linux OS is new enough and has a full Desktop

management system will try to automount the drive and read any

backup any files on the disk to the other native disks on the
Linux box.</div>

<div>I have a raw hard drive. It is a windows
machine but I also have some Linux Computers. It
appears that if you pull the electrical plug
from your computer, it could cause your hard
drive to lose hard drive partition information.<br>
I am not sure if the same can happen to a Linux
computer, so I want to find what is available
just in case my files disappear on my Linux
machines. <br>
My research has found that some software claims
to be able to solve lost file problems on both
windows and Linux computers. <br>
<br>
I have no idea how good these application are?<br>
<br>
Recovering deleted files is also of interest to
me.<br>
