Disc structure is corrupt - questions about Mini Tool Partition Wizard
I have a 2Tb portable WD harddrive that suddenly stopped being able to save data (even though I was playing music from it) and is now completely inaccessible - I get the typical 'disc needs formatting' message; check for errors can't access the disc and changing the drive letter does nothing.
Thankfully ZAR can detect my files and original names although many are unverified. What I really want however is to try and recover my entire drive rather than extract each file to a new drive.
So I followed all the advice in this excellent thread:
Disk structure is corrupt and unreadable
and I'm at this odd point with Mini Tool Partition Wizard where it seems to be continually looping through the same action. The dialogue window just says "Inserting an index entry into of $0 of file 25" over and over and over. It adds a new entry every second and just keeps going. Been almost an hour now;
So my question is - I can't let it run forever so how can I kill this process?
Also what is going on and what should be my best step? I'll probably run Test Disc next.
Thanks
Steve
