I have a pair of identical computers. One of them stopped booting the other day (it gets past the BIOS screen then goes black). Booting from a USB recovery stick I've verified that the partition is still there and I'm able to recover data from the corrupted disk.
When I try and restore the Master File Table using TestDisk it says that the MFT and backup is corrupt.
So...
- Are there any other tools I should run to help diagnosis?
- If this is a corrupt MFT stopping it from booting, is there a way I can back it up from the workig machine and use that backup to restore the broken machine?
