Partition wiped after File Permissions Repair

(1/2) > >>

Got Windows XP SP3 32bit
Used Windows Repair (All In One) v2.7.5

Only just found this tool and used it once. Drive is all healthy out of bad sectors, wanted to fix permissions on it. After system restart partition changed to unbootable RAW making all my data redundant. Bad job with this program. Is there a way to restore a partition back to NTFS without reformatting?

Shane:
The program wouldn't be able to harm the partition table at all. And with over 1.5 million machines the tool has ran on it hasnt never happened before.

My program itself doesnt set the permissions or even touch the file system. It calls on setacl.exe in the files folder to set permissions

I did a search over at their forums and no users have reported any problem like that at all.

I have a feeling something else was going on with your system. Dont format the drive, I have a feeling something else is going on with it, are you able to do a chkdsk on it?

Thanks for reply.

Yea it was pretty strange for me too about permissions to mess with partition table but this was the only thing I done to the disk and no other programs were running. I do have a antivirus on it but I switched protection off for the time running. I connected the disk to other PC but cant do anything as system partition is unknown (no letter can be assigned) and windows constantly asks to format it. I guess I need to look somewhere else for answers now.

Shane:
The file system should be able to be recovered since it wasnt formated, the data is still there.

I dont mind trying to help you find out what happened and get the drive back :-)

Is it an external drive? If it is plug it into a different usb port. Reason why is I had an external that showed that way and when I put it in another usb port it showed up fine.

Also if it is an external, do you have another system you can plug it into and see if it shows up the same?

I was doing it on my laptop's main drive. After tool finished and asked to restart blue screen appeared just after BIOS with a message UNBOOTABLE_(dont remember). I took it out and plugged in through eSATA to PC, which then only shows it in Disk Management as RAW partition.
