Recover4All, $49, demo will retrieve files up to 10 kb and show what
else can be retrieved. Retrieved files are copied to another drive: http://www.recover4all.com/ Restoration, Freeware, not tried: http://www.webattack.com/get/restoration.html -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "love4allUladies" wrote in message ups.com... hi .. had a power failure a few weeks back .. had a 120 gig ide drive , which was partitioned into to equal halves , one for the operating system , this one is ok , fat32 file system ... and the other for data,, which winxp keeps want to format , was also fat32 ,, but is being reported as raw or unknown. have run some trial recovery data utilities, recovers some data .. so i know its there , but they all have a size limit ,, so no good for some back zipped files .. any ideas ? |

R-Studio FAT 3.0 costs $50 and will recover everything, almost certainly
(there are never any guarantees in this kind of situation. I've used R-Studio with great success. http://www.data-recovery-software.net/ Sounds like the file tables got munged during the power failure. There are folks around who can rebuild such things, but it would cost a lot more than $50 -- Gary S.
