I somehow deleted a primary partition and I'm looking for a way to access this data.

The partition was NTFS and is presently unformatted.

I'm running windows XP pro on a pIII 1Ghz 512 MB RAM and the problematic drive is 60 gig.

You will probably need to turn to some 3rd party recovery tools. I like EasyRecovery Pro from OnTrack but I have also heard good things about Disk Commander from Winternals.

To see if there is anything to recover there is a free utility at: http://www.partition-recovery.com/. The demo version will show you what is recoverable. The commercial version cost $30.00US (not a bad price if the data is worth it).

Also check out: http://www.ntfs.com/ for information and recovery utilities.

You can use EZ drive to restore a backup FAT.
I use R-Studio 2, this software works for me. You can try it out free to see what's on the drive first before buying. You files are there and can be recovered.
