has anyone been in a similar situation?
google wasnt of much help
which softwares do you guys recommend to use for recovery?
or any other alternate methods anyone can suggest to recover data?

the partition was 40gig with data inside around 15-20gig

hi,
You might need to reinstall your system drivers,if that doesn't help get this tool it might help to retrieve your files

Howdy,

Start with chkdsk, it may just save you.
If that doesnt work comeback and report your findings.

thanks esther and Woodmann

@esther : the link i dead

@Woodmann : chkdsk gave me this message


Then i tried "Power data recovery" and it recovered everything with absolute ease.

Thanks everyone

the link isn't dead just change x to w

am just going to format the drive again

esther,

you can type the other w, the board wont explode .

*you can type the other w, the board wont explode

Look at the top right hand corner thats the "x" is for you

bann him, bann him!! Don Woomaa!

How can I ban esther ?

I was most impressed that he knew where the upper right corner was.

I had the same problem and used Handy Recovery, took the files and reformated the drive.
