recovering a hard drive and files

by jonnywaz85615 . Updated 23 years, 8 months ago

How can I recover a 30GB hard drive.

My system was constructed to run dual OS’s.
Win98(Fat32)/ XP Pro(NTFS).

I recently tried deleting the Win98 and in the process deleted not only this OS, but also my boot partition, and destroyed the partitions setup and lost everything.

I lost all my personal data, documents, a large mp3 and video collection.

I have since tried to recover and restore this situation with no success.

I purchased a second, new HD and have since reinstalled XP.I am up and running again, but would really like to recover those files and transfer them to the new HD.

I have tried a couple of programs, such as, EasyRecover Professional 6.0. Recovery has not been as positive as I would like.

Files have not recovered as expected.

Would it be better to use a DOS based program?

Got any suggestions???

Sure could use some help!!!!!

Thanks.
