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

["Ed Whitesell" <edw () airpath com>]

I have used software from http://www.r-tt.com/ with 100% success in the
past.  I've also had great (90%+) success with drives that have been
re-partitioned or formatted.

However, the last time I tried to use the software they had changed
their licensing and I was unable to upgrade to the latest version.  I
was told I had to purchase a full version, which was rather annoying.
Hopefully they've re-thought that policy...

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.
