Corrupted and Missing files in HDD

Corrupted and Missing files in HDD (Solved)

So.... Windows decides to tell me that my files can't be opened because they are corrupted so I have to run CHKDSK.... then more files become corrupted so I have to run CHKDSK again....... then whenever I boot up CHKDSK runs.... now the problem becomes I can't even access the drive.... so I take apart my PC and run the hdd off a sata-usb connector and managed to open up the drive in safe mode.... The only problem is that some of my files are missing and some are corrupted, so basically I'm moving files over to another drive, anyway to recover the lost files?


Also, Win7 is installed on a separate ssd...
(1 80gb ssd, 1 1tb hdd, 2 320gb hhd)
The 1tb hdd is the one that is corrupted... zzzz....


They are all NTFS


Edit:
When I'm copying, I end up with this error...
"Can't read from the source file or disk."

Can't really fill out many more system specs since I'm running off safe-mode and specy dlls won't run in safe mode -_-...



------
WD
Don't believe so
Yes
Temp: Currently unknown...

I'll try booting up again, maybe it'll run...



Edit:
So... everything runs, but can't pick up my bad disk, the only way it can be accessed is through safe mode

Here we go..
Failing device: WD1001FALS

Seems to be running normally in windows now but... files still missing, going to reboot and try disc wizard, also going to look for a RW disc -_-

Take a look at following. You might be able to recover some.

Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

The thought just occurred to me that the hitachi test won't work since I'm running the bad disc off a sata-usb adapter right now.... also explains why it wasn't detected in the scans

Btw, seagate disc wizard won't run, I don't have a seagate drive...

ShadePopping,
And is there any reason why you can not disconnect, just temporarily, one of your sata drives that does work, and connect the WD instead?

This would enable you to test the disk.

The only reason I had to disconnect the disk in the first place was because CHKDSK kept running and then whenever the disk was accessed by anything, explorer would lock up along with any programs that was using it.... which is why I'm running it off a usb now

Edit
Need to go for a bit so I'll let recuva run...

 

[ShadePopping]

..... Holy crap, estimated time left is 6 days

I'll just quick format and recover when I have it plugged back into my sata port

Quick update, hdd runs at 30C

 

[ShadePopping]

Mainly everything recovered :3, thanks for recuva , now to do a hard format then create new partitions and copy everything back over

 

[karlsnooks]

Glad to hear that you were able to recover nearly everything, especially with free software.

 

[ShadePopping]

The bad sectors strike back, even after a full format, and it also hit the new partition I created... yay.
