and that's why I keep DVD's and CD's with back-ups of my most precious documents and files (madshrimps website for example :))

I was about to copy the data to the PC I set up, only used right now for backups

no clue what I might do?

you could try ghosting the faulty disk to another one, and then try the recover from that disk, but that succesrate is low.

fyi: I've woken up at 9 o' clock this morning to continue my attempts to recover data. it's half past 23h and I'm still busy with this crap :(

you could have reinstall your OS and retyped all that lost data 3x now.

trying file scavenger now. doesn\'t do much. why do all these stupid recovery programs hang :(

because your HD is corrupt.

wtf, getdataback always hangs when it tries to read a specific sector!

trying to scan a few GB at a time...

scanning a few GB at a time... scribing down bad sectors

found a part of the MFT or something like that. found a part of my pictures :D

yes that Q1 mod is cool.
