| You can detect a defective partition table by the fact that your drive is still physically in the BIOS (with IDE drives) or is recognized by the SCSI controller, but booting the drive is no longer possible.
A defective FAT (File Allocation Table - it is like the table of contents of a book) can be detected in a similar way. Here, the drive is found like the defective partition table, and the drive can even be accessed (logical access is when you can jump to C: for example). However, you are not shown any data or table of contents (DIR).
If you have localised a defective partition or FAT, but do not want to continue the recovery on your own, then just contact our professional data recovery service. |
