RE: Tool or Service to recover lost NTFS partition/data

["Paris E. Stone" <pstone () alhurra com>]

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:

Subject: Tool or Service to recover lost NTFS partition/data

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.
