Recovering data from a dead partition
My wife's laptop drive died. Replaced the drive and restored a backup, so that PC is back up and running.
However, there are some files on the old drive that were created/changed after the last backup.
Plugging her drive into an external SATA mount I see the following is Windows Explorer:
E: System (nothing in it) -- I did run CHKDSK /F on it, and completed (with Bad Sectors
F: HP Tools (fully accessible)
G: Local Disk (Hangs any time I try to access, either thru Win Explorer or CMD prompt
H: Recovery (fully accessible)
Anything I can do possibly using shareware/freeware to possibly restore the data from G:? Most of the stuff I can likely get elsewhere, (e.g. outbox attachments). So not going to spend $$$ on the data recovery company or expensive software...
