| 147987 | 2003-05-29 05:49:00 | What was the file system before you "improved" it? You didn't format it (so there's a fair chance of recovery) ... it would have had to be "allocated" for a format to work. You have to remake the partition record, without the immediate formatting which MS's FDISK would do. The Linux "fdisk" or the GNU "parted" would make the partition safely. One of the "Magic" commercial ones might. If the disk was all one partition originally, there should be no problem. However, if you want the data, and you don't understand these things, get someone who does. One wrong keystroke can lose the lot. :-( They don't need to be professional; an enthusiastic amateur would do. :D But get them to explain what they are about to do so that you do understand it before doing it. If they can teach you, they probably understand what they are doing. |

| 147988 | 2003-05-29 09:16:00 | In answer to your question Graham L, the drive was Fat32. But I think rather then taking a screwdriver meets toaster aproach I will throw it (may be literally) at an x-pert. As the data was rather important to me and I would stuff it up by playing. Thank you all for your advice. | stukiwi (3887) | ||
