Vista X64 business
 
 

Rescue documents using Repair disk and command prompt

Hello!

I have a Dell Latitude D630 with 64-bit Vista Business installed. When I start the computer wants to make chkdsk on the file system. If I do that it ends up with the following behaviour:

Chkdsk is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)…
161472 file records processed.
File verification completed.
150 lrage file records processed.
0 bad file records processed.
2 EA records processed.
76 reparse records processed.
Chkdsk is verifying index (stage 2 of 3)…
20 percent complete. (78222 of 615387 index entries processed
After this it stops. Doesnot matter how long I wait (couple of hours). The screen is all black, no mousearrow.

I have also tried F8 after reboot and selected ""Repair your computer". IŽll be prompted for user-ID. If I select "Administrator" I get the following answer:
“your account has been disabled”. If I select user johbjo, which is an administrator, it works fine and I can login. Then I select "command prompt" and now I can see my missed files that I would like to save. But to what place can they be saved? I restarted the same way and connected an external USB-disk. But I cannot find any device letter for that one. I have tried d:, a:, b:, e: and so on. I would really like to save my files.

If I start the PC in Safe mode it goes to crcdisk.sys and hangs.


I have also teaken out the hard drive and connected it to a desktop as a secondary HD. The desktop stops after trying to c"chkdsk verifying index" for 4-5 hours.

I do not really dare to do any command on the disk now when I can see my files but to rescue them.


Any piece of advices is appreciated.

Best reg. Magnus
