I was building a new computer and using Partition Magic to merge two
partitions to one on the old hard drive.

Half way through the merge, Partition Magic froze up and crashed. When I
rebooted, Windows scandisk made a lot of changes to the hard drive that was
being merged.

I'm now left with a huge mess, and a very corrupted hard drive. The hard
drive shows all the former file names, however, there are no extensions to
the file names, and the files have very small sizes. The only valid folder
I find on this drive now is entitled Found.000

I went back into Partition Magic to see if there is anything I can do, when
I check the disk for errors, it tells me there are too many errors, and
Partition Magic does not repair anything. I can see that there is still 11
GB of used data on the drive, which seems about right, as there is about 11
GB of data that I am trying to recover.

Is there some type of utility I can use to attempt to recover the data?

Thanks for any help.

I use Get Data Back to recover data from partitions that are corrupted or

Thanks for the help guys. GetDataBack is a life saver. Did an awesome job
at recovering just about everything.
