Recently, I have installed Ubuntu Linux and tried for a dual boot with Windows XP but then I wasn't able to boot into Windows. After asking a lot of questions, I've found out that the NTFS partition became corrupt. I have absolutely no idea, and for the heck of it, I ran fixboot and fixmbr with my Windows XP Home installation CD. To my unamazement, the NTFS partition converted to FAT16.
So my question is: Can I somehow recover my data? Or do I have to completely reformat?
My problem is on a laptop harddrive so I can't do anything with floppies.
Do you think it's possible to put my laptop harddrive into an external enclosure and hook it up to my desktop and somehow recover it?
