Bottom line: don't EVER use CHKDSK, SCANDISK or similar tools on your last remaining copy! First use a utility like Linux "dd" tool or disk recovery software to sector-copy the entire disk or partition to another drive, and let recovery tools loose on that copy.
Very possible... I moved from Windows XP to Linux & never looked back. :-DMy friend who told you that about chkdsk and FAT partition ? :shock: chkdsk utility works on NTFS also. I recover over 50 partitions on that way. :shock: How do you mean FDISK ? From Win98 and MSDOS ? My friend this is old utility this dont works on WinXP/Win7.
Not surprising... I've seen Dead On Arrival drives (including flash) more than once, even when those were handled carefully (ESD safe etc). And a flash disk (SD card, I think) where reading some blocks of sectors returned different data than what was written - but without reporting write OR read errors (!). Also I've seen an USB stick that became totally unresponsive (device not recognized hardware-wise, etc) after being pulled out accidentally during a read operation (again: !! wtf? :shock: ).I saw several people, they have important data on flash drives, flash drives stop responding from some unexplained reason.
