Internal Hard Drive Troubles (Not Reading)
Hi All,
I was hoping someone here may be able to save the day with my hard drive. I have had a previous thread a few years back and have since built my own PC and only just managed to get around to putting this old drive in the new PC to see if i can take the files off it (I am mainly after the pictures of my kids on there, the rest I have on other pen drives and is worthless.
Drive: WD10 EARS-22Y5B1
PC: WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL - SP1.
Problem:
For some time now my hard drive has been playing up and was showing as 'corrupted' - after checking a previous thread and running a partition recovery wizard, I managed to salvage something... Screen Shots attached (image 3).
Only problem is, it has managed to split it in to multiple partitions of nothing really? It has managed to save the least important drive of PS3 - and the main drive which i believe is now the 'unallocated' partition. When I try and access the file through My Computer it comes up with Access denied, I have tried sahring and changing ownership, as administrator and nothing.
I just want to know have the pictures been lost forever, if so, I will just have to take a deep breath and smash the drive to bits
I would even be willing to pay someone to get the pictures off there, if they are able...
thanks again in advance.
Shaun
