Hard Disk data recovery? Help!!!?
Here is the problem in detail.
I had hard disk with bunch of important files in it. My system had two operating system (bad idea) Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04. These both were installed in a primary hard disk which was different from the one where I used to store data (files) and this is the drive which I want to recover as files have gone. Now, this hard drive is of 320 Gb capacity so I divided it with 6 partions with NTFS file system so as to be accessible in both the operating system.
I had consistently having problem with the windows operating system, therefore, after an advise from my friend I installed Ubuntu along side windows. One day when I came back from college and started the windows it was not running properly and I had to repair it altogether with windows CD. Now, after that I was unable to access any of the logical drive of the secondary hard drive. I was seeing this message " Your hard drive is not formatted. Format it now". Now I was panicked and started reading on net for solution. Somewhere I found that Recuva can be used to recover the data. So, after formatting all the logical drives I used Recuva BUT it didn't help at all.
I was so frustrated with this WINDOWS operating system that I altogether washed it and started using Ubuntu and now all the drives are formatted with ext4 file system. after sometime I thought I might can give one more try to recover data so I used TEST DISK recovery. Although it detected all the previous drives (partion), it is not able to detect any file in it.
If any one has any idea to recover data in this type of problem then please help.
Please Help!!!!!!!!
