Partition Recovery Tool and File Recovery
I came across this free Partition Recovery Tool. It appears to be exactly what you may need if your partition has been lost on your hard drive. I have a hard drive I want to try it out on. Check it out at http://findandmount.com/ .
If you need to just recover a file you deleted, maybe NTFSUndelete can find it and recover it for you. Get it free at http://ntfsundelete.com/ .
Ciao for now !!!!!
