The 2-day Process Of Recovering Data From a Windows XP Home NTFS Hard Drive

I received the dreaded phone call from my dad a few days back: Windows wouldn't boot. Little did I know, I was in for the big one this time.

I tried my standard tricks. I used the ninja-style [eight commands to repair Windows][eight], which usually fixes it, but this time it didn't fix it. I tried CHKDSK, and I was told that *"The drive has suffered from one or more unrecoverable errors."* Hmmm, that's a new one.
