Power went out and one of my external HDDs got corrupted, probably the mbr... I ran a CHKDSK /r and it told me there were bad sectors but it didn’t have enough free space to move the data to a clean sector, then it just stopped mounting Now it doesn’t even show up in windows, in Mini Tool Partition app it shows up as “Bad Disk” Tried the Mini Tool free version Partition recovery but scanning seems like it will take weeks and the wording isn’t clear, but seems like they’ll charge me if I want to fix the disk  Any free alternatives? Looking at Gparted but it doesn’t look like it recovers data or fixes mbr

TheParadigm posted:The last time I had to deal with this stuff, Get Data Back was an outstanding tool. The fee is reasonable because its one of those 'it just works if its able to' tools; it will scan your disk, evaluate how much it can pull off and you get a picture of what's recoverable before you play. Thanks, I'm taking a look, I was also recommended https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download and currently trying it First time a Toshiba drive failed me

Tin Tim posted:Hey, goons Nobody has answered this so yeah, use DDU and remove any Nvidia stuff you might have hanging around, it can only hurt Theoretically it shouldn’t be a problem but it takes like 3 minutes so why risk it, AMD already has problems picking the right driver for their own stuff...
