What does Windows say?

The exact error and the steps you followed are very important. > Is there another rescue software ?? > thanks for help I used to get good results to recover data from a NTFS partition using Piriform's Recuva software, for Windows, of course. But better if you work with an image of the disk instead the original source to avoid "moving" and so making the recovery process more difficult, if you finally erased the data.
