VIRUS ATTACK FIX TO RECOVER LOST DATA ON THE H.D.

IF YOU EVER HAD YOUR HARD DRIVE PARTITION DELETED BY A VIRUS
ATTACK USING RAPIDSHARE OR MEGAUPLOAD PATCHES THEN HERE A
WAY TO RECOVER YOUR LOST PARTITION WITHOUT LOOSING ANY OF
THE DATA ON THE HARD DRIVE AND BRING BACK WIN XP TO YOUR PC.

MY TEST DISK (Size 5Mb) DOWNLOAD LINK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/47316877/Silichip_Test_Disk_v6.7.iso.html

First thing to do is to copy the TestDisk.iso file to cd using Nero
'Burn image to disk' or use alcohol 120% or MagicISO.

Now go to BIOS then to startup boot mode and change it to CD/DVD load
first option and save then restart your PC.

Now the cd will load up in MSDOS mode, when it finish change A: to e:
e.g. your cd/dvd rom drive then type testdisk.exe to run the program.

Once that done, use the arrow keys to select and press Enter key.

In the first menu you have 3 option (Create, Append, No log) to store a
log file, select any and move on and select your media e.g. your
infected hard drive to proceed.

Now select the partition table type (Intel/Pc, Mac, None, Sun, Xbox,
Return) If you have Windows then select INTEL.

Second option are (Analyse, Advanced, Geometry, Options, MBR Code,
Delete, Quit) so please select ANALYSE and the key command are A: add
Partition, L: Load Backup, T: Change Type, P: List Files but ignore that
and proceed to the [Write] by pressing the Enter key to continue.

A message will say 'Write partition table, Confirm? (Y/N)' so press the
Y key to recover your lost partition table.

Next message will say 'You will have to reboot for the change to take
effect [Ok]' That all folks!

Quit the program and reboot your system without the cd and now you
should have all your data back and windows working again. If your
Windows doesn't boot, try fixmbr from the Windows Recovery Console
(Xp Windows Cd) and type fixboot to repair NTFS boot sector.

There is data recovery software on this disk as well just type
photorec.exe in MSDOS.

For any type of help using MSDOS commands go to

Not, if the owner contracted something like Opaserve.k

(Technical Details)

and testdisk can easily be retrieved on an official CD iso without
requiring Rapidshare
