I'll investigate this tool. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been very careful to not write anything to this drive after that
CHKDSK that threw the data away. I have only read the drive with some
tools designed to find my data (all without luck, BTW). I don't know
in what ways, if any, XP writes to the MFT or other on the drive when
it accesses and reads other data on the drive. Does it?
