the FAT on my backup harddrive has been corrupted. do any of you have any advice for free software to repair it? this drive uses NTFS so I guess technically it's not a FAT repair...

Actually if the drive is larger than 32GB it's NTFS or some other format, since FAT32 is max'd at 32GB for most OS we work with.
I haven't seen that many NTFS formatted drives get corrupted that much. Is this your main drive, an extra data drive...?
I know it's probably a silly question, but what errors did chkdsk give you on the drive?
Give us as many details as you can and we'll see what we can find.[IMG]http://thepebkac.net/images/sigs/Outdoors_sig.jpg[/IMG]

I was installing Ubuntu using wubi. in the process it currupted my MFT on my data drive. I highly recommend testdisk. it was very quick and easy to use. it was also free!
I've installed ubuntu and debian numerous times and never had that issue?
