Hard Drive has gone to RAW
One of the partitions on my desktop's harddrive went to RAW after a power outage. I do believe the boot sectors are messed up. I have yet to find something FREE that can fix this. Any ideas?

I agree.
Had the exactly the same problem once with a desktop drive.
The only thing that worked in the end was linux-knoppix and I lost 2/3 of all my data. [/quote]

The only problem is that it only shuts off when trying to load into windows. I'm running a windows reinstall and it hasn't shut off yet (albeit, the computer has restarted like 10 million times). I smell a format coming soon.carbon_unit wrote:Sounds like a failing drive. You better get you important info backed up right now.

Have you maybe got a faulty IDE-Connector cable?
I had one the other day on a dvd drive, installing Windows was no problem, but it hung up when trying to acces it or in a different computer didn't even fully load Windows.

Well, this is a desktop and all.carbon_unit wrote:There is no cable on a thinkpad. The hard drive connector pins go into a connector on the motherboard.
That's an interesting conclusion. That cable is brand new, but inspection could be warranted.
