And if that doesn't work then its probably corrupt. I've had it happen to a few hard drives of mine

Burn a live CD of Ubuntu, and then see about getting the files from there.

If not, well, you have a backup CD to recover files if your OS Craps out.

Post by: robin1989 on December 28, 2008, 07:00:07 PM: you need to use a data recover tool - i did that when my hard drive got corrupted to the point of unmountable in normal circumstances and it kept saying format it so i ran the recovery tool and it got back 98% of my stuff. it did take 2 days though as it forensicly whent over it or whatever its called like 10 times recovering each bit it found each time
