In order to have at least a shot at helping you out we need to know what hardware you are using? Is this a external drive? Or do you have a device that is SATA to USB? Basically you hook up a hard drive and connect via USB? It looks like this http://www.cooldrives.com/lib/cooldrives/sata-to-usb-adapter-cable-for-windows-and-mac.jpg

Please take pictures with good lighting so we can assist you.

If Need To Ask Anything More Please Ask But Solve my this problem

so you have an IDE to USB adapter, does the HDD show up on your computer when plug in?
DO you hear it spinning? power on?

Can you plug this HDD into a different computer without the USB/IDE adapter?

 

[Mindfreak]

Yes it getting connect perfectly evne my all drives working and all drive files are opening just have problem with only this file .!


and yes i can plug this device in another OS .!

You may need to run a chkdsk c: /r from a command prompt.

Do you have all the data there backed up somewhere else?

 

[chris1neji]

So all the other files work just fine? Only this one file that you can't open? can you take a screenshot of this file, and of the file properties by doing a right click on it and clicking on properties.

Open a command prompt and type this then press enter:

type C: DIR/DIR/yourtext.txt

But instead of / use \.

See if it types the complete contents to the screen.

'F:\Documents' is not recognized
operable program or batch file.


Getting This Error .!

Fist i open f: in command promt after that i try this two commands

F:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Desktop\My Data.txt

Documents and Settings\MyUser\Desktop\My Data.txt

 

[F5ing]

Wrap it in quotes ("), like this:

type "F:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Desktop\My Data.txt"

My Drive letter is F: i tried it but it is getting hanged after 15%

Are you killing chkdsk when it hangs at 15%? How long did you let it try? I don't think I've ever seen chkdsk actually hang; it sometimes takes quite a while to finish though, especially if it's correcting a lot of issues.

Did you check out that "Previous Versions" tab when you were looking at file properties? I kind of doubt there's anything there as the drive's not likely monitored, but it's worth checking.

Also might want to check out what this can recover: http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download

No, I didn't mean for you to buy that Recuva software, there's a free version downloadable from that link. Reverse that "buy" if you can. There are other ways. There are plenty of forum members here that can help you!!!

 

[Mindfreak]
