Two days ago, I was using my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1420, then all of a sudden, all my programs just stopped working. I was still able to move the cursor so I tried to shut down the computer. I tried clicking the shut down button a number of times but nothing happened so I shut it down manually. When I tried to turn it on, it said “Error loading operating system”.

I then tried to run diagnostics to see what’s wrong then I got the error code 2000-0142 during the self check test. I found out that this is a hard drive problem so I tried booting from the Windows Vista CD but it still didn’t work. I then put the hard drive into an enclosure to try to repair it but when I plugged it into another computer, only the second partition of the drive showed up, which is the 10GB “recovery” partition. I tried browsing the partition and it seemed to be working well. I went to disk management to see what happened to the remaining 150GB partition and it said “EISA Configuration”. I tried right-clicking on the partition but the only thing that appears is “help”. I then tried to format the drive just to see if it will allow me to but it always gets an error.

Is there a way to retrieve my important files from the other partition?
