what is your OS?

 

[Scotsdude]

what OS are you using?

if you are using 2000 or XP, right-click on the My Computer icon & choose manage

Select Disk Management, and look to see what info it tells you. If the disk is still partitioned, it should have the info on all of them.

Otherwise, post back here with what it does say.

I'm currently in the process of recovering the entire partition of a IBM 20gig hd. I accidentally wiped out the partition and "lost" 13gigs of files. I'm running a program Called "GETDATABACK for NTFS". its avail for free at:

http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm

its available for downloading for Fat partitions or NTFS partitions. seems to be doing exactly what it says. Recovering ALL the files!
I hope this helps you out to recover any data you have lost.
