Default Data recovery?

I checked out the Symantec site and can not figure out how to submit
questions into a discussion group. Can you help me out?

Thanks again.

No, not at all since it adds nothing to your previous post where you
confirmed that GoBack was installed on the drive. I have already posted
you a link to the Symantec site where I am sure someone from Symantec will
be only too happy to help you solve the problem created by their software.
checked my drives in Fdisk and the master Drive 1 has Partition -1
Status -A Type -PRI DOS System -FAT32 and Usage 100%. The slave
Drive 2 has Partition -1 Status -A Type -Non-DOS System -blank and
Usage 100%.

Does this help?

No. Not unless you have a disk editor handy and know what you are doing
including the risks involved otherwise you need to approach Symantec.

I found an executable on the Symantec site that solved my problem. I
downloaded and ran gb_prog.exe /u and I was able to get my data files.

Thanks again for all your help.

Best Regards,
Tim

Well done Tim. Any chance that you could post the URL of the utility so
that in future I can help others with a similar problem?

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
, would have permitted you to do the same changes.

Either copy or type it into your reply to this message. The link is only
a string of characters s so type it if short or copy and paste if long and
complex.

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.

Very nicely done, Mike.
If only all such support incidents were so easily resolved!

This looks applicable for casual users with this Go Back problem:
