On my computer with Win7, after only one execution of CHKDSK, all files disappear on my secondary HD (around 500Gb of very important data). I read the CHKDSK logfile and it has found many mistakes on the HD including on the MFT. Now on windows or linux, I see no file on the HD...
I have tried TestDisk software for finding deleted files but no file can be recovered. I have tried many other software (but non free) and I can see some disappeared files...
I have tried to repair the MFT using TestDisk but it said that MFT and MFT mirror are bad. Do you have any idea to repair the MFT using an other technique or another software? If not, is it possible to recover the files AND the filetree? With which technique?
I am very surprised of this unexpected and unacceptable behaviour of CHKDSK...
Status of the HD BEFORE: 1 NTFS partition with around 500gb of files
Status of the HD AFTER: 1 NTFS partition with 0 file...
Tools I have if needed:
- one Linux/Win7 computer
- MacBook
- only a small 500gb external drive (if necessary I will buy a new 2To HD)
