Windows 7 RAW file system HHeeLLpp!!!

[ruggb]

Something happened....
I don't know what, but have one partition and 2 drive (un-partitioned) that I can't read.
This seems like an easy fix IF I can find a program to do it.

The drive appears to be intact. Paragon partition manager show correct info about drives.
I can even BOOT to windows 7 from the "BAD" partition.
BUT I can't access any of the drives and or the partition I just booted from with WE.
Can't access with any program.
I would seem like the 1st sector what tells these programs what kind of file system is there, is hosed.

A recovery program will retrieve the files but I have more files than I have disk space to save them to.

Is there someway to fix this without making the data irretrievable???????????

Will FixMRB do it on both drives (not boot drives) and the Boot partition?

It seems like you are facing an issue with one partition and two un-partitioned drives that are not readable, possibly due to corruption in the first sector that identifies the file system type. The fact that you can boot from the "bad" partition but can't access the drives or partition with Windows Explorer indicates a filesystem issue. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue without making the data irretrievable: 1. Fix the Master Boot Record (MBR): - FixMBR: Fixing the Master Boot Record (MBR) might help in resolving the issue. However, FixMBR is typically used for repairing the boot sector and won't directly help with reading data. It primarily focuses on fixing boot-related issues. 2. Attempt Partition Recovery: - Partition Recovery Tools: Use specialized partition recovery tools that can help in recovering partitions or repairing the partition table without affecting the existing data. Tools like EaseUS Partition Master, TestDisk, or MiniTool Partition Wizard can assist in this process. 3. Data Recovery with Limited Disk Space: - If you are running out of disk space for the retrieved files, you might need to consider freeing up space on another drive or external storage to accommodate the recovered data. Alternatively, you could recover critical files first if the recovery tool allows selective recovery. 4. Backup Important Data: - Before attempting any fixes, ensure you back up important data using a reliable data recovery tool or by creating disk images of the affected drives/partitions to prevent any further data loss. 5. Seek Professional Help: - If the above steps don't work or if you are uncertain about the process, consider consulting a professional data recovery service. They might have more advanced tools and techniques to recover the data safely. Keep in mind that any recovery or repair processes can be risky, and there is a possibility of data loss if not done correctly. Therefore, it's essential to proceed cautiously and prioritize data backup before attempting any fixes. Since FixMBR might not directly address the data access issue, considering other partition recovery tools alongside fixing the MBR is advisable for better chances of data recovery.
