Hello all,

This question concerns my 200GB ATA133 HD. This HD was partitioned into two.

While I was using the computer one day, the computer stopped responding.
Upon restarting, I found that this HD had disappeared from My Computer. I
restarted the computer a couple of times, the drive reappeared, but as a
single unformatted NTFS partition. I ran several partition recovery programs
(PQ Partition Magic, Acronis Disk), but none of them could find my old
partitions.

Could anyone suggest something that I could do to at least recovery *some*
of my data?

Try MBRWORK from the free utilities section at www.bootitng.com

Good luck
