If you are trying to fix the drive or restore it, I have not ever had any luck doing that. However, I have used testdisk to recover a file on a drive that had been accidently wiped. It does have partition recovery, but I have not had a high success rate with partitions, just files. A google search brings up this article if you are interested. http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/storage/8257-how-to-recover-lost-fi les-after-you-accidentally-wipe-your-hard-drive BTW, the disk that was wiped in my case was a well used 60GB drive. The disk I used to recover the files to (since you don't want to over write the current drive) was a 500GB hard drive. It "recovered" over 450GB of stuff due to "recovering" deleted files/indexes. So make sure you have a big drive and plenty of time to sort through it. I did get the important file and a few other files, but it took a long time.
