Did you get struck by lightning, or just your usual luck?
Could try this-
Partition Find and Mount — free partition recovery software Don't know anything about it past a google search and a look at the website.
Just my usual good luck.Quote:

Ooh! Ooh! I'll try that.Quote:

I'll give that a go if I have no luck, John. I struggle with Linux.
I'm currently trying the Partition Find and Mount that Simon suggestd and it seems to be working. I'm copying files to another drive as we speak.
search for an image of a hirens cd
on there there are several partition rrecovery programs that actually work...
you download the cd iso image, burn it to cd, boot from the cd select the recovery tool you want to try and away you go
hirens 10.5 is about the latest i think, maybe 10.6
