I want to recover data from a failed 2.5" winxp laptop disk. I've
attached it to another dual boot winxp/linux system using a
USB adapter. The disk starts and runs. Winxp recognizes
it as a USB mass storage device, but won't assign it a
drive letter or read it. Linux also recognizes it and assigns
it a device ID, but won't mount the device and can't read it.
I'm hoping the problem is boot block, index or data corruption,
and that I can recover at least some of the data. Would appreciate
suggestions and/or links as to recovery procedures and tools. I
can't afford a recovery service, and as to tools, free is good.
Thanks!
