I was installing WIN XP on my HDD1 drive when I noticed it had started on HDD2 which was my backup drive. I CXL'd the setup and selected the correct drive for the installation HDD1. Now I have a big problem:
My HDD2 drive has a partial FAT32 (original Partition) and a partial NTFS Partition. Win XP was in the process of converting the partion from FAT 32 to NTFS when I cxl'd the setup.
Now all my data is missing on HDD2.
I downloaded a data recovery software program (Recover My Data from Get Data Co.) and was able to retrieve Word Docs, Outlook PST and some Media files, but the files I really need (Turbo Tax for the past 5 years) I cannot find. It finds 1 tax file which does not open.
Is there anyway to recover the file partition and see the folders tree and the data within the folders?
It would be nice to find a way or software that would convert the HHD back to FAT 32 and show all the folders and data that was originally on the drive. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions????
Nothing has been saved to the HDD2 since the partial re-partioning.
Thanks
