The Troll salvaged whats left on a defective 250GB Hard Drive

The troll was able to salvage files from MSI Wind's defective Drive, all in-tact from /home ext4 partition.

Using CDRKING's IDE to USB Bridge and a cool gadget to bridge  SATA and IDE.

It took awhile to read files due to data corruption, but was still be able to extract the files from the disk. After a few hours of it, was able to delete every partition; swap, /, /home and created a single ntfs partition.

The bad news is it's having hard time reading data. Saving files on it is very risky so I might use it as a nice paper weight. More Photos after the break.



At the end of the day, the most important thing is the troll got his files out. Here are some photos from this predicament.

and some used baby bottles.

The Good News is, the troll got his files back.

Success doesn't always mean business. Even after repartition and format, the HD is still
Having problems.
