Hard Drive Goes Kaboom
It appears that my laptop hard drive has gone kaboom. I get a blue screen of death with UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME or something similar everytime I try to start it up.
I'm trying to recover as much of the data as possible.
I am using a Slax Live CD and my NTFS partitions are mounted (yay!).
Unfortunately, quite a few (but not all) of the files/directories have an "unknown file type" when I attempt to copy them. An "ls -l" of the mount shows that most of the file attributes merely contain a question mark as opposed to actual information.
Does this signify corrupt data? Is there anything that I, as a user, can do to recover?
I had some important things on there.
