hails man.. i dont knwo if this works or not in your case.. i used something
called "test disk".. it ships with some universal bootdisk/rescue pack that
is downloadable online.. it did recover quite a lot of stufff.. from an ntfs
drive.. theres this other pack, i think its called all in one boot disk or
something like that, it even had a linux recovery option in the menu.. you
could give it a spin if you become desperate enough hehe.. i probably still
have it on my machine, so if you cant find it just give me a buzz..
peace
Ciaozn
