PC problems (need the pro's)

I've ran several tools on that drive, and they all basically say the drive is severely corrupt in more than one location. I doubt any more tools would make that any better. My only guess is that when I put the suspect drive in and scandisk ran several times, the reboots after it was done must have resulted in physical damage in the home HD. It's the only thing I can come up with.

ChadTower:

What does "corrupt" mean here?  Corrupt is a file system concept.  Do you mean it has dead and nonrepairable sectors?

The word I would use is "defect", but yes all progs I've ran say unrepairable and/or freak out when it hits one of those spots. There are NUMEROUS errors on the disc, but a handful are in the "Haha, your ---fouled up beyond all recognition---!" category.

ChadTower:

Ah.  Any news on the home mobo?  Trashed?

It is the one I am recovering AND the one that is unrecoverable in a "get it running and booting windows". Just because a HD is corrupt doesn't mean you can't get data off of it. The drive can be non-responsive and data recovery software can access and recover from it. I was able to recover some data from a thoroughly screwed flash drive one time with Data Recovery Doctor.

It is some pretty darn neat software.

As to the "suspect" drive from the work pc? It is being trashed. There is nothing on it anyways.
