I always said ChkDsk is a crap tool which sometimes do more damage than it fixes...
Well, it happen to me atm. Some crap program started ChkDsk automatically and it "fixed" my hard disk...
Result: I lost gigabytes of emails (from 1998 to now)
Thus: I need a good and advanced disk editor. Something like the PCTOOLS or NORTON DISK EDITOR from the old days (DOS).
A disk editor where I can search the entire HDD for a certain string and which the editor then links to the proper chain of sectors so I can manually retrieve the data.
Or an editor which at least shows me in a nice way the chain of sectors when I select a certain sector.
for free if possible...
PS: I don't need an average disk editor which simply shows the contents, as I already have that.
I don't have time atm to google.
I will be in your dept forever...
