51374 2002-05-29 03:39:00 Can anyone tell me if there is good program out there that will help me recover files from a hard drive that has the NTFS type of partitioning and had Windows XP running on it? There is a program thats called 'lost and Found' but as far as I'm aware, that will only work with Fat or Fat32 partitions.
Thanks

Is there anything wrong with the drive? Or did you just accidentally delete something? Or what?

If the files are REALLY important, it may be more worth your while to stop using the drive altogether, and give a place called Computer Forensics a call - they specialise in data recovery off dead drives, or of deleted files etc. This would be the safest, yet probably most expensive, method available to you.

Mike.

If unable to boot into windows, use Norton Diskedit to recover the backup boot sector.

MS has instructions which include doing it at your own risk.
