Recovering a HDD?

jonneymendoza

Hi, One of my hdd's got messed up when i think i accidently deleted the partition when i was reinstalling windows 8 and selected the wrong hdd. what app can i use to recover the data off of it?

On windows it now keeps telling me i need to reformat it

any advice?

Edit: i tried getdataback andit doesnts eem to scan r do anything?

i chose teh default settings from the first screen and then on step 1 i chose my hdd thats damaged.

in step 2 nothing happens. it doesnt scan or do anything and on step 3 it doesnt display any of my files.

see screenshots below:





I have also tried TestDisk and what happens in TestDisk is that when itry to fix and rebuild the mft, it says this:

MFT and MFT mirror are bad. Failed to repair them.

Here is the status of that hdd under Testdrive:



I also tried this app and got no results when i tried to recover the files. i keep getting this error:



Last but not least, i tried Recuva and that simply sais that that it is unable to read the MFT?

Any suggestions? i have tried various apps already and none of them seem to work

yoyo

Have you tried PhotoREC?

I've used Find and Mount and should do the trick.
