Hi,
It may be easier to recover the drive using a different computer, or re-installing windows on a new HDD, then using it to try to recover....
The problem is that the drive needs to be readable to recover anything... If the Partition Structure\File Structure is damaged, the disk will not be readable... Even if it is readable, the actual DATA may be damaged..
The fact that Parted Magic can not access\read the disk is not a good sign...
It is possible that if you make multiple attempts with CHKDSK, you might have some luck...
I has a bit of a similar problem a few years ago, and CHKDSK eventually somehow resolved the problem...
Your's is your boot disk though, mine was not... That makes things much more difficult...
There is a program called "RECUVA" that can sometimes recover files, but what it works best for is recovering deleted files and partition that are intact... Your's may not be... Some maybe...
Hi slance,
Is there anything you can help to fix the hard disk . I think may be there is a chance to fix this hard disk by plugging it in an other computer because its not damaged physically . If there is a chance to fix the bad sectors of the hard disk then please help me .

Hi,
I can see no any other way at this point... Everything you have recently tried mentions a HDD failure... At the very least, the HDD is corrupted enough that it is being determined as not usable...
The only way to save any data would be to replace it and then try to recover your stuff afterwards...
You could try recovering the data by hooking it up to another computer, if available, and copying the files, but if Parted Magic can not access it, I don't think there is a good chance of being successful...
Let me know what you decide... I will help as much as I can...
