25h till completion

It has gone up from 1h 40m to 25h?

[phantomjoker]

yes... but it has gone down now to 2h49mins ugh!

[phantomjoker]

None of the above has worked - i just tried to 'ntfsfix...' but it came up with

Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.

so i did

chkdsk --help

and got

bash: chkdsk: command not found


any ideas? please!

Did you get this message in Ubuntu?
chkdsk is a Windows program so you will need to use it in Windows.

This is the last link I know which I think I could recommend.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery

Sorry for not being more helpful.

chkdsk is for windows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chkdsk
fsck is the linux equivelent.

so i had an insight - i have booted into bartPE and preformed a chkdsk - it faulted - i think my data tables (cant remember if thats the right name) are faulting.

Because music tracks are all muddled - tracks have merged together and turned corrupt.

Keep bumping, go to the IRC channel, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help. Also, there are loads of NTFS data recovery programs for Windows, though I haven't a clue which to recommend. (ZAR, VirtualLab, Recover Files, there are many). You might have more luck with those since NTFS is native to Windows...

ok - thanks - new problem!

i am recovering data but only have 512mb of free space - how do access my second partition - it should be visable, but im used to windows, and so don't know where to find it!! HURRY! my computer is deleting itself!

[Potatoj316]

for recovering deleted windows files you can use recuva. I suggest you install it to a removable drive (because you can) and so you dont overwrite any files that you want to keep. Then use it to scan your drive that has the "deleted" files on it.

also I still dont think your computer will delete itself.
