It says error reading sector 0 or boot sector is invalid". I dont know how to proceed. * The drive behaves the same in two different computers * It is a non-OS drive, just for storage * When it is used, windows gets stuck at startup, when hard drive is removed windows loads perfectly fine. So I cant look in Disk management etc. * The dead hard drive is visible in BIOS * I have not done anything yet, such as fixmbr etc * Knoppix finds the drive, but it only contains system volume information, all files are gone Please help....

There's one method you can have a try. Find a SATA (or IDE) to USB converter and then connect your disk after Windows startup, if it can be recognized, you can try to use Data Recovery Wizard to search the files.

I can see the usb device, but nothing in disk management. Arent there any boot cd which can try to reset this boot sector? Thanks Top Newbie999 Newbie Posts: 7 Joined: Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:23 am Quote Postby Newbie999 » Fri Sep 02, 2011 1:33 am what about format and then run some recovery software. Will it work?

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please don't try to format the disk; otherwise the lost data will be further damaged. Sincerely, Eas
