Help! I don't want losing my data.
Neil Waldhauer:
I recall if you use pinball.sys and the code pages do not match, the HPFS drive is munged. Do I remember that correctly?

Ok, will chkdsk fix my partition without wiping?
Moises08:
I ran mountvol in windows just to be able to use chkdsk, and there is no unmounted volume mentioned!

I munged my HPFS partitions with it. Seems that you really don't want to use it with partitions over 4.3 GBs or so. In my case I recovered my HPFS partitions by doing a quick format and then a chkdsk /F:3.
@Jaroslav, there are Linux based rescue disks that might help you, perhaps some Googling will help.

Why in file manager of ecs the only drive available is npfs drive, and NTFS are not there, while ntfs driver IS installed, for sure?
