Retrieving files from corrupt HDD

[Pmikeyandhiskfc]

Hi all

I recently upgraded PC's and its a good job I did because the HDD on my old PC went corrupt just 2 days after switching!

Most files were backed up, but have lost a lot of payware content such as eldavo's class 92 and peterdhick's Class 170.

Obviously, I could just buy the Class 92 again, but as for the Class 170, it does indeed seem lost which is a massive blow. Plus a few older routes.

Does anyone know a way to get files from a corrupt drive?

Thanks in advance,
Liam (PMikeyAndHisKFC)

How badly corrupted is it? You may be able to plug in into your current PC as a additional drive to get the files.

I've plugged in via a USB-SATA cable and it appears in the Windows Disk Management but just says "corrupt" and unfortunately doesn't let me do anything with it other than delete it entirely.

Does it spin up?
