I have a desktop machine running win 2k with sp3. The machine has a removeable hdd and a 20 GB HDD with the operating system on. &nbsp;I think the swap file was on the removable disk and has been corrupted. &nbsp;When the 20GB drive tries to boot up &nbsp;to win 2k it comes up with the message &quot;Unknown Error, Bad Sectors&quot; &quot;Press CTRL+Alt+Del&quot; to restart. &nbsp;I have tried putting in a separate HDD and booting up and this works. I attached the corrupted disk and the disk manager can see the corrupted disk and says it's Healthy. When you try to access the disk though it says cannot read disk.<br />
<br />
Can anyone suggest a tool that will be low level enough to access the hard disk drive and recover about 15-20 mb of data that I haven't backed up. &nbsp;Any help would be much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Cheers

Hard Disk Fault with Windows 2000 and Recovery Tools

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
