Hi Richard,

I haven't personally used this, but I've heard some good things about it:

It's a live Linux CD that suppors NTFS, so it should be able to read the USB drive, and then you can copy over the data.

I am currently working with a customer who needs to recover data from an
external USB hard drive which has had it's only partition (NTFS) deleted.
Obviously Windows won't recognise the drive any more so I would like to know
if anyone has any neat tricks or tips to access the drive and rebuild the
partition without using commercial software, and preferrably via USB so I
don't have to rip the drive out of it's casing.

Many thanks

Richard
