Greetings, if you don't require a Linux solution there are utilities
available on the net that can read NTFS partitions in a DOS environment
(like a Windows recovery disk). One I have downloaded (though never tried)
is called NTFSReader and was downloaded from NTFS.COM .

I could likely do it at ComputerBase. I have some software that
works well as long as I can at least see the drive at the OS
level. I don't need to be able to see the partitions. Have to
decide if it's worth $55 though. It's time consuming to scan the
drive and I'd need it first thing in the mornin
As Jim says, you should make an image of the drive before
doing anything else.
I haven't tried this but I think you can get a full disk image with
dd from Linux. Do you have a disk big enough to create a file
the size of your boot drive?
dd bs=1MB in=/dev/sda of=somefilebigenough
You could then wr
fix.

If you have a Windows machine handy, you could download and burn a
Knoppix live Linux CD (knoppix.org), boot your Windows machine from it,
then plug in the external USB enclosure and use commands like this to
view the contents of the disk, assuming it is viewable at all:
In a terminal, run:
mkd
Hello,
I was recently trying to format a brand new hard drive in an external
enclosure and mistakenly began to reformat the internal boot drive (I know,
stupid mistake). The reformatting process lasted about 5-10 seconds and the
screen went black. I cannot mount the drive (NTFS) on a Windows o
