I had my XP working fine until I tried to install linux
(Red Hat 8.0) AGAIN on my 40GB HD and do a dual boot. For
some reason it didnt work. I HAD THIS WORKING BEFORE.
Maybe I did something wrong with Partioning! When
reinstalling my XP, I only had E:\ drive and a lot of
unused partitions. I decided to install XP on E:\. On
boot I cant find my C:\drive. Partition magic revealed
the following:
/boot(*.) Linux Ext3 101.9 89.6(unused) non active
Local Disk (E:) NTFS 39,095 37,6142 (Active)
(*) unallocated 7.8

I had backed up important data on my C:\. Is there anyway
I could get my data back? Please assist
