l have a crushed laptop drive that is partitioned into two.

The C drive is completely unreadable while the secondary drive l can open and read the files but l cant move them from the drive even if l try open and save as for some of them.

Any ideas?

Try plugging this drive into another computer using a USB/ATA interface.

so my other question in my last post ,you didn't answer it ,how are you accessing the drive ,what do you have it hooked up to ??????????????

Member Avatar for masocha

Sorry for late reply.l am accessing the drive through an externally powerd SATA HDD hub

Member Avatar for caperjack

weird ,you should be able to simply right click and do a copy /paste .
try doing a checkdisk on the drive ,right click the drives icon in mycomputer and go to tools and setup the check disk there

And how does that help in recovering data, as the OP asked? It just deletes all the data... Please, read the question that you are 'answering' (I use that word with a fair amount of ironic intent given your posting history so far) and then stop and think whether you can add any help, any value, at all to the thread before you start typing.
