This also happens on other versions of Windows. Another quick solution to save data
on the original drive with the problem would be to get a 2nd hard drive, make it
primary, load OS onto the new hard drive, and the apps that you need in order to
retrieve the data.
Recover the data to the new drive.
Then if you want, format the old drive, which is now slave, and make it your new
data drive.
It's a down/dirty fix, but at least you might be able to recover and keep your data.
Had someone here w/same issue, and having the 2nd drive helped.
