Re: [H] Need MAJOR help with fubar'ed WinXP install
Hello, For Bootable CD's I use WinPE with RStudio Lite added to the boot CD. Also on the CD is Winhex as well. I do have others, but those are the most I use on the boot CD and Boot USB Key. To get the version to work on a boot CD it will cost more. I suggest just trying the NTFS version and using another computer to recover the data, install Windows on another hard drive. I very rarely use the Boot CD, unless it is a working drive and the client does not want the drive taken out of the computer. This is where Winhex comes in handy to clone the drive over to a USB Drive.

Re: [H] Need MAJOR help with fubar'ed WinXP install
Tim! Thanks so much for the reply; *very* glad to see you chime in on this thread! :) If you don't mind me picking your brain for a bit (so I know for future reference, though I do hope to never run into this situation again!), what's your analysis of what happened exactly in terms of what exactly got overwritten by the Win7 install? I mean, the thing that gets me is that the system booted from the USB key and it really was only like 30 secs or so that it had time to *do* anything, and that it did so much in that little bit of time! And for future reference, should I just have yanked the key out ASAP? Like I said, I was afraid of getting things really messed up b/c it was in the middle of writing stuff, but in retrospect, sooner seems like it would've been better the sooner I stopped it! *sigh* Anyway R-Studio sounds good, especially the way you can demo it and see what's recoverable so you can figure out if it's even worth going there. Would you say I can just use it from a bootable CD or should I remove the drive from the laptop and connect it up to another PC in an enclosure? I see R-Studio has emergency mode but the fact you need a hardware code is weird and why do they have the verbiage about being able to install it only on one PC there? Oh and which version should I get? No problem get the $80 R-Studio, but if all I need if the NTFS version, it'll save me $30! :P Thanks Tim! :) BINO -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Tim Lider Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 11:15 AM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Need MAJOR help with fubar'ed WinXP install Hello, I looked over TestDisk and it looks interesting.

Thanks, but I don't feel "that" lucky. Rick Glazier From: "Zulfiqar Naushad" You could try. But I think the key would not work. "Rick Glazier" >> I'm pretty sure it is a bad idea to install the ver 12 and try the old ver 10 key...
Re: [H] Need MAJOR help with fubar'ed WinXP install
I've had good results with a freeware "TestDisk". Brief description: "Tool to check and undelete partition (FAT, NTFS, EXT2/EXT3, ReiserFS, BFS) under DOS, Win9x, Linux, BSD. [GNU Public License]" http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk As with all data recovery, STOP letting ANYTHING write to that drive. This program, run from a different drive, will non destructively analize first, before committing ANY changes, and then only on demand. That basically means installing it somewhere else, or booting with floppies, CDs, DVDs etc. AS said below, some data might already be lost. WinXP and Win7 use TOTALLY different boot procedures, so you may be looking at data recovery "only". (IMHO.) Rick Glazier From: Depends. You might find data recovery programs that will run a format recovery and get some back. But anything that has been over-written with the new structures on the disc is toast.
