I havent yet seen the msg causing this answer but if it refers to an
unreadable partly corrupted windows/ dos partition email me direct.
Whatever else you do if you want data from a partly messed up or even
half dead hard disk, donot write/modify it and remember if its a dying
disk, next time you start it can be your last time you do that...
I have quite a bit of datarecovery experience as its part of our
business so I might be able to help a bit but donot run that drive or
write to it.
Best regards,
tracer
