crazy vista boot loop

[SIW2]

Is that all it found?

It would tell you if the HD was bad - so it does seem like a partition table problem.

The other possibility is to try another partition recovery tool - partition guru free edition is very good.

If that doesn't help, then I am afraid your other avenue is a data recovery tool.

What usable operating system do you have at the moment?

Ok, I see. I just click on cancel?
Right now I'm on windows 7, on the bad HD computer i have vista x82 (I read the name of the forum after posting...)

I will try this other Partition recovery.
So I understand that the problem isn't the type of the disk I mean the Primary, Logical, etc?

Thanks

Can you connect your win7 machine to the vista machine via usb?

If so, you can run partition guru , or failing that , a data recovery tool from within win7 and point it at the vista hd.

PartitionGuru Free - Download

Partirtion Guru FREE is slightly confusing, because it appears to offer data recovery - BUT with the free version, data recovery is limited to 1gb.

You would use partition guru FREE for partition recovery .

Ohh, I wrote an answer explaining that I couldn't connect both computers because of the cable. (I coldn't find one).

Now the situation is: a friend just give me a CD ERD Commander 2010 that runs windows Xp, once there I went to Disk Management and there I look at the sitation, it was:
C: with 70MB Healthy active.
*[][][][][] (H 32GB Not healthy
And Unallocated with 564 GB.

I wanted to format unallocated, but then before clicking finish I closed the process because I was worried to lose the data. So when I closed it the screen was frozen. I restart the computer and now the situation is:
C: with 70MB Healthy active.
*[][][][][] (H 32GB Not healthy
I: 564Gb Unkown type Healthy

I rode but I couldn't find how, that there is a way to expand the C: partition to 564Gb andall the data will be there again.
What I should do now??

Thanks, and sorry for no answering but I thought that my answer was sended...

If you have formatted it - you have severe trouble getting any data off it.

Might as well forget it - there are one or two advanced programs that might be able to attempt something - but they aren't free.

Just occurred to me you might have a slim chance. You can use my boot disc - it has MT data recovery free version on it.

It is worth a try - I think it claims to be able to do something with formatted drives.

Yes. it does
