  1. mga gurus....

     

    Tulong..., meron ba kayong pang repair ng boot sector/FAT ng hardisk. Kasi yung laptop (IBM tHINKPAD) ng utol ko, nababasa nya yung laman ng hardisk pero once mag - invoke ka ng any write commands (whether copy/delete/etc), nag-eeror ("Unable to write to disk").. Try ko na mga procedures na ito:

     

    1. Fdisk/Format - kaso format failed dahil hindi makapagwrite sa hard-disk

    2. Bios reset - ganun pa din

    3. Scandisk - walang error pag normal scan, pero once i-try mo yung surface scan, parang naghahang

     

    help, ala kasi akong budget for hard disk right now :)

    If "-=extreme=-" recommendation failed it means that ur HD is "pasira na" It means that u cannot use ur HD anymore but if you want to recover some files to ur HD or at least ur HD somehow u want to revived...

     

    Well, dont worry I still have one more solution to ur problem we called it "Freeze it"

     

    One trick I have learned as a technician, when the problem is data-read errors off the platters themselves, is to freeze the hard drive overnight. It makes the data more 'readable,' but for a one-shot deal. If this data is critical, and you have a replacement hard drive (which, if it's a drive failure, you probably do), then you can hook up your frozen hard drive and immediately fetch the data off before it warms up.

     

    If the problem is heat related, I put the drive in the freezer for about 15 minutes to cool it down... sometimes this gets the drive up long enough to copy any critical files... Put the drive in a waterproof sealed bag, put it in the fridge for an hour or so, then have another go.

     

    My solution:

    ** A bit unorthodox but, it has saved my butt! **

     

    •Turn off the PC.

    •Take out the failing hard drive and wrap a static bag around it.

    •Throw it in the freezer conveniently located in the break room.

    •Pray for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

    •Leaving the hard drive in the bag, quickly plug the drive back into the CPU. (Just plug the in cables and go.)

    •Cross fingers, turn it on, and move all data off the drive as fast as you can! Then add a tape drive and start backing the dumb thing up!

     

    My so-called logic:

    Metal contracts when it is cold.... so the platters shrink and increase the clearance for the read/write heads.

     

    Good Luck! :D
