Hi,

I have a 80 GB hard disk, FAT32 partitions which was running fine till recently. But one fine day it showed boot error. When i booted from a floppy the partitions did not show, I suppose the partitions have been deleted somehow.

But what i need now is can someone help me in recovering the partitions and the huge data that I had stored in my Hard disk. Would Norton Disk Doctor help if I run it from a separate Hard Disk? Any other more efficient software that would be more helpful, please suggest.

Regards

i think ur case needs more finner details

the path u are thinkin of is the right one

try reachin it with another harddisk

but if it fails then i guess the file system is gone

norton disk doctor only helps in recovering bad sectors , not unreachable sectors , so reach it first and repair it next !!!!
