On entering in CMOS Setup I changed the mode of primary slave i.e. hard disk to normal from LBA. On restarting in windows the scandisk showed bad sectors in the hard disk and a directory containing some data was missing. I againg entered in the CMOS setup and changed the MODE to LBA but, the data was still missing. I then formatted the hard disk and tried to recover the data with a data recovery softaware but of no use. Can anyone sort out my problem of recovering the data.

Have you tried setting it back to normal? Why did you change it in the first place?

And why did you format? I think you screwed yourself there. :cry:

Have you read what format displays?
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE C: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with Format (Y/N)?

It's true.
