one of my server which was running Windows 2003 Server w/ Sp2 crashed due to

hard drive problem.

The server had a 120gig HD which was partition into two. 1st partition was

30gig which was Windows installed and 2nd

partition was unallocated. After rebooting with Windows 2003 CD and went

into recovery, I cannot see the directory listing

when issuing "dir". I get an error about an error occurred during directory

enumeration. I ran chkdsk /p and it indicates another error. What I found

out was there is NO free space available on the 1st partition.

 

When I ran Windows 2003 setup, it does see the partition but it indicates it

is in "raw" filesystem. I downloaded a systemrescuecd linux boot

disk and ran gparted program. it does see the 30gig partition and it knows

it is ntfs, but I couldn't resize the partition or anything because

there are alot of errors on filesystem. It says run chkdsk /f from windows.

 

I also placed the drive into another Windows 2003 machine as a secondary

drive. I couldn't access it either.

 

Is there a tool out there that would allow me to access the partition and

delete some files so I can access it and recover some important files.

(sorry there was

no backup in this box. my bad!) or any other suggestions?

 

thanks in advance
