I have a 320 GB drive in a USB external converter (the big plastic shell 
that turns any IDE drive into a USB 2.0 drive).

I did something I shouldn't have done, I just pulled the plug instead of 
doing the nice "safely remove hardware" I guess they really mean it.


Here's the sequence:

1. Vista doesn't remount the drive, it's found in Disk management as 800GB 
??

2. Installed Disk rescue. It was able to locate some data (after a few 
hours) but not nearly all of it. .

3. Rebooted box, lengggggthy checkdisk autoruns, and fixes tons of journal 
entries and lost chunks.

4. Drive letter shows up. Disk management says there is a 320GB partition in 
a 800GB drive. Files and folder structure show up, but filenames point to 
different data! Like clicking on one MP3 starts playing another MP3, and I 
even hear overlayed MP3's and what sounds like sped up voice (yikes)

5. I ran another checkdisk now, with switches /f /r /x /b, but the same 
result, filenames (and even their thumbnails) are correct, but they point to 
the wrong data

The manufacturer of the hard disk used on your system, which will probably 
be listed on hp site for your PC

Are you trying to partition your hard drive? If so you'll want to 
defragment your hard drive with PerfectDisk, at http://www.raxco.com/
There's a free 14 day trial. Other disk defragmenting programs don't 
seem to create a large enough contiguous free space you can make into a 
partition.

(But ChkDsk should work first. No idea why it hangs. Make sure it's a 
true hang and not just a point where it appears nothing is happening but 
if you wait an hour it actually does still start going again. (Maybe 
listen for hard drive noise to see if it's doing something.)

Start quoting what you are replying to.

LOOK AT EVERYONE who is positing in this thread.  If they show "n/a"
in their number of posts, that means that they are NOT registered
users of that interface - an interface that scrapes up posts from
microsoft servers and mixes them in with yours.

NONE  of those people can easily go back through the thread.
