 While reinstalling and formatting an older hard drive I
deleted the partition on the second drive on the machine by
mistake. This was a simple "press "L" if you want to delete
this partition" choice during Windows XP setup. Is there a
way to recover the partition and ultimately the info on the
drive through the command prompt? Is there a freeeware
solution? I don't want to buy a program to do something I
can do if possible. Can anyone make a suggestion?

Thanks in advance!
