Anyone know of a good quality tool for repair and recovery of damaged NTFS volumes?

Don't know for sure, but check out these utils. The Winiternals guys have saved my ass on occasion.

Priced pretty well for an IT guy, but not very sweetly for the home user. Of course it can pay itself off by recovering some critical data, but it's a big chunk of change to put down up front.

Which reminds me.... Time to make new backups of all my data files.

Yup, looks like I'll be trying this one out.

Thanks!

Something I remember seeing on the linux-kernel mailing list ages ago:

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0006.2/1125.html

Jeff later said that he might have to stop offering this tool, I don't know what the current situation is. You'll have to ask him.

Hi Rob,

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/NTFSDOS.shtml

This is the freeware version of the NTFS reader for DOS. I have successfully extracted files from a NTFS volume so damaged that NT wouldn't even run chkdsk on it.

It seems the drivers they are using (their own stuff) are more forgiving than Microsoft's own.

Just remember to put a FAT32 formatted drive in also, so you have somewhere to copy the files to.

Best of luck.

I dodged a bullet there, folks - back in business, no data lost -phew-

Needless to say I have now made a backup, and will be doing so regularly from now on....

Thanks for advice received here, it helped a lot. What a community!

Congrats. I know the feeling of narrowly missing disaster like that...
