Default Data recovery?

Congratulations on your persistence, Tim.
I wasn't entirely sure you would be able to do it, ... which shows how
little I know.

Now you may desire to rerun fdisk to see that the "slave" drive has
the same attributes as the primary, master drive.
IIRC, later versions of the orphaned Powerquest Partition Magic, ca.
ver. 5


As would a file recovery program such as R-Studio (I used this myself to
recover 80GB of data for a friend just a couple of weeks ago after the
failure of their e-machine that was running GoBack) but that isn't free
and I rather thought that Symantec had a tool to do the job. I chose to
go the file recovery route rather than change the file system flag as I
wasn't certain whether GoBack did more than simply change the flag.
Subsequent experimentation told me that changing the flag, in that case
from 44H to 07H (it was a NTFS drive) was all that was needed.
