I read some topics here but still couldn't resolve my problem.
Here we go:
comp:
I have Toshiba Satellite 17" laptop Celeron 1.7 gHz 256+512 mb RAM 60 gb HD.
OS - Windows XP Pro SP2 (not original which comes with laptop). I use AVG7 antivirus.
problem:
I have 300gb Maxtor external HD (not new) where I keep most of my movie, music, anime.
One day I've got some virus from internet. And my external HD was connected to comp. AVG moved it to virusvolt. Later I cleared virusvolt folder by AVG. Then after for a while (I left extHD connected to comp for a night to download some things) I have no idea what happened but I couldn't find ANYTHING on extHD.
My Computer shows it as Lockal Drive G: total size:0, free space:0. Actually I gave to extHD totally different name.
When I tryied to open it. Comp shows an error.
actions:
I tried MANY softweres to get my data back but no result. Some of them do not see extHD. Some do see but cannot do anything. Shows an errors. Only 2 progs could tell me that HD is 300gb and free space 30gb on it. And then there's no or corrupted MFT - cannot fix.
question:
HELP!!! PLEASE!!! I want my data back.
