    FindPart, this tool just saved me 120GB of data on an external USB HD.

    Download it, then:

    Email them with your info, they will send you a batch file to run,
    basically FindPart with some command switches, the output will be a text
    file, then email that to them.

    Then they will email you another batch file, run it, output file back to
    them.

    Third email from them was 1 batch file, I ran it and he said "Now
    Reboot".

    Partition back nicely, with all the data in tact.

    Then paypal them some cash as a thanks.

    Oh yeah, the URL:

    Hi list,

    First, happy new year.

    Second, I am in the urgent (read: desperate) need to recover a lost
    partition from a NTFS physical drive. There has not been any format
    since I figured out the mistake before that. The partition was lost
    during the repair of a virus attack with the FIXMBR and FIXPART tools.

    I tried some freeware products to no avail. Considering, seriously
    considering, commercial products but I dont want to spend every dollar
    looking for the one that will recover the whole partition/partition
    table.

    In particular, Im looking to recover a zip file more than a 1.5GB in
    size.

    Useful notes:

    After partition was lost I have not repartitioned the drive and
    therefore have not format it.

    Thanks for your help.
