Acer recovery partition used size is 14MB instead of 14GB
Hi
I know that acer recovery partition topic was here often but not quite like mine
Recently my disk broke down and i could not boot up in any way possible
I could not see the disk on linux, and not on windows
I had there very important data so i without thinking used windows 7 rc dvd, i have run chkdsk c: /f to see if i can resurect the disk
So it worked it took me 14 hours to do it but i could log in to windows safe mode and copy all my data
Next step before sending my laptop to waranty would be to try recovery programm but it did not work
I tried to do it with alt_F10 but it did not work either, showed me some strange screen with option to choose disk
After that i used macrium reflect to see what is in the hidden partition and it is filled with 100MB of data, there is no image there
So my question is is it possible that windows 7 rc disc erased my data on that hidden partition somehow
Or just disk is compleatly dead?
I need to know since aperantly if service will say that the disc failure is my fault i will need to cover fix cost (which is bull crap, disc was dead and i only recovered my data)
