one of my server which was running Windows 2003 Server w/ Sp2 crashed due to
hard drive problem.
The server had a 120gig HD which was partition into two. 1st partition was
30gig which was Windows installed and 2nd
partition was unallocated. After rebooting with Windows 2003 CD and went
into recovery, I cannot see the directory listing
when issuing "dir". I get an error about an error occurred during directory
enumeration. I ran chkdsk /p and it indicates another error. What I found
out was there is NO free space available on the 1st partition.
When I ran Windows 2003 setup, it does see the partition but it indicates it
is in "raw" filesystem. I downloaded a systemrescuecd linux boot
disk and ran gparted program. it does see the 30gig partition and it knows
it is ntfs, but I couldn't resize the partition or anything because
there are alot of errors on filesystem. It says run chkdsk /f from windows.
I also placed the drive into another Windows 2003 machine as a secondary
drive. I couldn't access it either.
Is there a tool out there that would allow me to access the partition and
delete some files so I can access it and recover some important files.
(sorry there was
no backup in this box. my bad!) or any other suggestions?
thanks in advance
