hey bro you can try using partition magic to retrieve back your data. they have a function to do that. however, i suspect that your harddisk is corrupted from unsafe removal. it always happens to me... so i will just write 0 for my harddisk after i recover my data.

how can i retrieve it, do i need to alocate data from it to another hard disk or i can keep the data on this one without formatting it

hi, you have to actually find a fully functional computer and partition magic allows you to create a boot disc. you have to boot from dos in-order to see what are the files in the "corrupted" harddisk. how to copy is actually the basic dos commands. or you can try a software if i am not wrong its called R-drive or something like this. its a shareware if i am not wrong. it allows you to recover data from a formatted harddisk, provided you have not format via low level format, which is write zero.

he is, or maybe some files are corrupted so he cannot open it easy then its trying really hard and cannot do it, computer is working slower becouse of this too
i doesnt need to buy new one, becouse in order to fix it i need to format it, so i will clear it from all virues then
