you can also try r-studio. i once deleted a 40GB partition of mp3's and
with this program i got back around 95% of all my files. i think there
is a fee for this program as well.

If none of the posts does it for you, you might consider purchasing ARD
Commander.

Thanks for all the info. I tried several. One ran over night and one
tried to restore the files by saving them to othe rdrives. Now how am I
supposed to get 370 gig save to two 80 gig drives. I got the ACronis
suite for 50 bucks and it restored my partition in about 30 minutes.
Now I am backing my data up to DVDs.

Thanks for all the leads.

I suggest you use Partition Table Doctor to resolve your
problem.The software provides very useful functions:
Backup partition table, Restore partition table, Rebuild
partition table, undelete partition, Fix boot sector,
rebuild mbr,etc.

First thing I recommend you download the demo version of
Partition Table Doctor.( http://www.ptdd.com/download.htm )

Run the program and select "Rebuild Partition Table",
then choose "Interactive" mode.
