Ok, went to install a fresh copy of XP on my C drive. In the process I "deleted" drive D in the windows XP setup. Drive D is a single partition on a sep physical drive (wasn't one on the C drive).
I see there are a bunch of utilities out there and meathods, but not sure which one is the best. Drive shows up as unformatted in windows and in EASEUS Partition Recovery (free edition).
I have not touched the drive since I made the oops...and would really like the files on there!

I've used EASEUS Partition Recovery before and it's worked for me. That's probably going to be your best bet.

Ended up using a gnu based utility that recovered most of the files. All good now..time to go back to my "unplug everything" before installed meathod.

You should use a free imaging software (such as DriveXML) to back up your "data" partition to an external hard drive. That way, if something fails or dies, you still have an image you can restore to a new drive.

Yup...TrueImage works great as well.tuckerm wrote:You should use a free imaging software (such as DriveXML) to back up your "data" partition to an external hard drive. That way, if something fails or dies, you still have an image you can restore to a new drive.

Get a copy of Hiren's Boot CD. Several imaging and data recovery utilities on there.

BartPE has many imaging options and other utilities you can build in to a boot disk for situations like this. I still prefer Symantec Ghost over all though.
