Solved Disk C: not opening the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

hi tamer13,
I'm not really understanding the problem...you say that you can't access drive C: but then post screenshots that show a drive P: - and it appears that the system partition is drive S: ... The partition layout is pretty unusual as normally there wouldn't be an extended/logical volume before a primary system partition. How did this happen? Can you provide more details please?

Wonder how this mess could have happened...how does a C: drive change to P: o.O
I'm not sure what to suggest at this point, it looks like the filesystem is seriously damaged...before untertaking any recovery efforts you might make a complete clone of the P: partition as an image file just in case (a sector-by-sector copy). This would allow you to try all kinds of things to retrieve data from P: without having to worry about further data loss since you could just restore the image for another attempt if something goes wrong.
But without more information as to what in blazes happened here I'm unable to come up with better ideas :(

Looks like you have a dual boot system with Windows 7 installed first and XP installed on a logical drive on extended partition later.

From the third image you have posted, it looks like the P: has only RAW data which means the partition though healthy, the NTFS file system is not accesible.

Try using a file recovery program like RECUVA (freely downloadable) in Windows 7 and recover maximum no. of files from the RAW disk.

Later on you may format this partition and reuse it again. It is difficult to recover your Windows XP OS from P: and you may have to reinstall it again.

It is difficult to recover your Windows XP OS from P >> Really! : ((

What about the possibility to convert the file system from raw to ntfs or fat32 so I can open drive (p)
and When I do that, Can I see all folder as before



I don't like restore files , It back without Correct names
and Do not work sometimes

There's no way of simply changing the raw data to a recognizable filesystem without knowing what happened in the first place. Software such as the above-mentioned Recuva is your best bet at this moment.

You may not like it but you don't have much of a choice. Sorry :( I still urge you to make a backup of the raw partition first, just to be on the safe side.

I'm beginning to have a feeling that whatever it was you did in step 5. changed the type of the first partition from primary to logical. If you had gone from step 4. to step 6. and simply added a new boot entry for XP, it would have been fine :-/
Can you provide more detail about what you did trying to fix things from a DOS prompt?

This just doesn't make sense :confused: SOMETHING must have happened to change C: into a logical partition P: ... but none of the steps you say you performed could have caused this.

I wish I could help further but at this point I'm clueless...Hopefully someone else has an idea.

Yes Can successfully boot To Win7 in S .

That is probably caused by P having an "ID code" not recognized by Win 7.

How that occurred I do not know.

What I do know is that sometimes TestDisk can enable you to be able to access the disk.

After that, then if you want a dual-boot system, then let us know.

Personally, I am very strongly opposed to dual-booting due to the numerous problems which users encounter.

I am also a strong advocate of ditching the eXPired operating system.
