hi did it have some Dos partition,,if yes then get a dos startup disk..and run ndd (norton disk doctor) for dos..it will automatically scan for partitions and will prompt u like "a 2134 MB (just for name sake) partition found..u wanna recover it " or if ure brave and know how to handle norton disk editor..u can manually see where u're partition starts and ends and can recover it..there are two partition table copies and theres an option to use the other copy in diskeditor..maybe that'll work phew,,what wud i get to talk abt dos in a lug :)) buh bye happy hunting sandy
