It sound like your disk is trashed. I had those problems and after recoving the data chucked the disk. Using mechanical media for storage on a computer is silly. I've never understood why such archaic means are being used.
Hmmm... maybe becuase it's a bit more cost effective?
Anyway--I've never used the others always ndd and it always fixed my partitioning problems soes I could recover my data even when my disk was so corrupted it was reporting files left behind after a deep format.
Well, I wonder if NDD is capable of accessing a drive that MS-DOS or Windows isn't capable of seeing. I had a heck of a time trying to set the 20GB HDD up on one of the 2 IDE cables. BIOS would see the drive, but when I either booted the system to a DOS prompt or Windows, the drive was so corrupted that it wasn't recognized. However recovery software was able to find it, and retrieve data from it. I'll have to set up NDD just to see what it's capabilites are. But I really prefer using recovery software 1st that doesn't write anything to the target drive.
Matt
