UN_Mountable Error, Need to access Files
Hello,
Ive been reading through the forums and Ive found a few solutions to the "UN_MOUNTAGBLE HD error" and Ive tried the Chkdsk /r and it freezes at 72 percent, then goes back to 50 percent. What i need to know how to do, is boot off a different Hard drive and access the files on my Fuxored hd. *Problem. I have a laptop. How do i go by booting on something to access my files that are much needed. Thanks

ok , you are saying the drive is in a laptop?
you can buy a adaptor block 34 to 40 odd pins ,and use that , or if u want to be more comfortable ,get a 3.5 in externalusb enclosure , and one of the adaptors , so that you are working "on the bench" so to speak ,
if your drive is formatted in ntfs , you will need a machine running xp / 2k to read it ,,,98 won,t,
those adaptors are commonly available and sometimes come with mounting rails ,,cost £10 or less in the UK

When using CHKDSK /R I find that the readings go as you say, quickly up to 72% or so then back to 50% however if you leave it it will then inch forward slowly 1% at a time on most systems - on average 2 hours will do it. Have you left the machne for that period of time? Sorry to ask the obvious!

I'm currently running chkdsk /x /r and it's only at 34% now. It's been running one about 3 hours now. Can anyone tell me how long it'll take to finish a 40 gig hard drive?
