hard drive corruption help
dilbert firestorm
good while back, put it this way, I'm a big time procrastinator. sigh....
Fall of 2007, I was in the process of transfering files from the 15gb
drive to the bigger 250gb drive in my OS/2 machine, and noticed that the
15gig drive appeared to be failing and chkdsk issues with the. Got
around to contacting I365, a seagate subsidary that recovers data in
february 2008, couldn't do that, a death in the family put it off.
Finally in February 2009, I finally sent the drive to I365 to have the
data recovered and was returned to me on a new replacment SATA hard
drive. I didn't get a chance to put it the new drive into the OS/2
machine until last week. I put the Addonics SATA-SCSI adapter on the
SATA hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine.
When I checked the hard drive, it still had chkdsk issues. So that
means I have a corrupted block of data somewhere on the hard drive.
anyone know how to fix this?
this is what chkdsk says.
The current hard disk drive is: L:
The type of file system for the disk is HPFS.
The HPFS file system program has been started.
SYS0590: CHKDSK found data in a temporary relocation sector.
SYS0590: CHKDSK found data in a temporary relocation sector.
CHKDSK is searching for lost data.
CHKDSK has searched 100% of the disk.
CHKDSK corrected a disk space allocation error.
CHKDSK relocated data from a bad block to another place on the disk.
I ran chkdsk a few times, and got the same result.

I think dfsee - www.dfsee.com - may be of help.
If you cannot work out how to fix the problem using the time restricted
demo then I suggest Registering the demo and asking for Support.
If that does not get the problem fixed I have no idea what would.

the data to that partition, then reformat the partition giving
you trouble, using the /L option. Then copy the data back to
the original partition. See if that works.

does that work when the data is inaccessible?

I think he means xcopy x:\* y:\ /h /o /t /s /e /r /v
note only * not *.* so to catch files with no extension.
Then format /fs:hpfs /L x: or format x: /fs:jfs /L

No; the /L, or long format, option is for the FORMAT command.
Use the HELP command for more information.

"reformat" bit and made the connection, alas I didn't.
now that being said, does it really with with the xcopy command on a
drive with inaccessible data? I'm skeptical. :( I run Dir and get a
message telling me to run chkdsk or soemething like that.
I prolly will have to run a chkdsk log to the files logged in. that way
if this xcopy command works, I'll have some data to compare with.
I do have another hard drive, but its a SATA drive and don't have
another addonics SATA-SCSI adapter, so I'll have to order one.

I don't really know, guess you'll have to test and report back.
