I have an issue with a hard disk here.

It has been formatted from being a massive NTFS drive (20+ Gig) to being a teeny tiny (7 Meg) FAT drive. The previous owner has since realised there was data on it that he needs back. :rolleyes:

In all likelihood the drive hasn't actually been wiped (so the data is probably still there), but do you guys know of any utility that may bring it back. It has a valid boot sector, so most utils show it up as a healthy drive...help!

TIA

huh? is this drive bootable? or is it a secondary drive in another machine? that sounds quite strange....



A wee bit more info might help...ex. ware are you seeing that its a 7meg fat?
