Anyone knows how to fix this? My 500gb hdd showed up as this.

I'm trying to back up files from it.

First thing you should do is not touch it or load windows off it (if it even can)...in the case of an SSD the data is unfortunately likely gone. You could try partition recovery utilities but most of them aint free to do the recovery, but they will show you if the data still exists.

I have my own custom program that turns an entire disk into an iso file I can open with 7-zip or something...but its MY program, so that would require some trust...its the only thing I know of that may do you any good to be honest aside from paid tools.

if the data is there it will ignore the partition information entirely (whatever didnt get overwritten by the new one) and should show up in the file it creates.

Two problems, you need to have the 500gb of free space for an iso file, and you need to run it from recovery mode as an admin so windows doesn't try to prevent it

Sorry my custom prevention doesn't leave me much expertise in commercial tools...because why would I?

For paid tool I suggest minitools partition wizard as my top choice and easeUS partition master works (i own this from my crash) but its not as good...either ones demo version sucks and will only let you recover about 1GB of data free.

Honestly I could probably code you one in python now open source (remember my direct disk access? same concept), but if you really want your data my C++ version is tried and tested on everything from drives to ps3 console hdd's so I trust it.

Actually after checking the disk is showing up as invalid in disk manager.
Using Testdisk I can see my partitions but cannot write table into it.
Any ideas?

I'm following this tutorial.

Your not running off the disk right?

Again this is EXTREMELY touchy...one write and you may not be able to restore it as an entire partition and need to pull file by file, so anything I can suggest is risky as fuck and I don't really want to since i'm running blind.

You 'may' be able to simply run checkdisk...your missing the partition table, possible even one bad sector. Those tools I mentioned will do it, checkdisk might, but the tools are gonna cost, anywhere between $30 to $100 normally for a limited or lifetime license, I dished the high price for a license because I had 8TB in the void...and because I tried to fix it first I had to do it file by file.

Again, my tool can do the job but it requires enough disk space and yoir still restoring windows...the perk is its free, and what could I really do worse than whats already happening?

The other options is install one of those tools on ANOTHER drive and pay the piper...anything else manual would take more custom programming...i'm not familiar enough with the raw partituon table to reconstruct it using a hex editor or something unfortunately...but thats basically what you need to happen and what those tools would do...without that windows sees it as nlthing therr and you can't access it because of the fact. Diskpart would overwrite it not restore it properly etc etc.

Checkdisk may be the only thong even worth trying...and i'm afraid windows might go retard and try to write the log there mucking everything up...it was something stupid like that ended up screwing me.

This is not an easy fix by hand...your gonna need some tool.

i'm not familiar with it like I said...I wouldnt have any need to do this. Mine would access the PhysicalDrive3 and do a raw sector copy without concern, I never got to doing partitions with it. Sorry...I know any of fdisk or diskpart tools would fail ..so I wouldnt try this myself.

Basically i dont use any of these tools anymore

I could look it up but i'm sure you already have.

Nevermind I've found a free tool that works.

Never heard of it. Godspeed bro, let us know.

I really need to upload my program so I can just send people a link...ironic how we trust anything with a page and user reviews but not the people near us

Its all good elloco, i'm just laughing at the irony.

EDIT:

If its open source lmk, maybe I can figure out the partitions next

At least your commiting suicide with high spirits...hopefully it was your game drive and most of the saves are backed up

Even if this was a repair job I was doing I wouldnt be that calm.

 

[WhatNitrous]

Next question...what caused it? Just an fyi that normally doesn't just...happen.

Usually SSD's end up blank and HDDs will restore a dead sector.

I caused mine by using diskpart on the wrong drive...other than that i've never seen it in almost 30 years.

Thats redeemed too...imagine how much they actually gave away that never got used.

More money than most of us will have in 3 lifetimes...except henry and pax

If you have multiple Windows installs or especially if you have Linux installed on your drive too, that could cause it. Disk 0 simply means the storage drive the partitions are on (likely your main HDD / SSD), and it assigns a number to make working with it easier.


try this Aomei Partition Master or MyRecover

If you have multiple Windows installs or especially if you have Linux installed on your drive too, that could cause it.

This piqued my curiosity, especially since your usually silent...how exactly would this cause that to happen at random? Excluding obvious idiocy.

Serious question.

I could see linux commands not meshing with the Windows partition format well (same as playstation drives not showing up in Windows since they're linux based) and being more low level by nature possibly causing it...I can even see windows being retarded during installation and using the wrong partition...sadly still happens these days, but why would any functioning multi-OS setup randomly decide your partition didnt exist?

Again...under the assumption of just normal use. Unless you were assuming human or program error...since anything could cause it in that situation regardless of what was installed on the drive. Overwrite the first and last MB on a partition and both MBR and GPT partitions generally become dust in the wind...can't speak for linux, that might actually still load depending on the installation

I'm curious if this has actually just happened on its own to someone in any scenario besides total disk failure now...aside from this case, since elloco cant explain with memes and we'll never really know.

this remind me a situation where win10 upgrade himself while i was sleeping, there was a usb hdd attached at this moment and the update jammed my system considering the hdd was the "C" main disk...had to restart from the begining
