Hi Tom, Actually I have a tool that does exactly that! It is sort of a swiss-army-knife for disk and filesystems. One of the most used features is analysis and search of lost partitions, and recovering them without any loss of data. It is always a two-step thing: 1) Analyse, this is automated in a script called DFSUNFD 2) Recover, using DFSee CREATE commands You'll probably need some help getting from step 1 to step 2 :-) You can download the tool from my website: http:/www.fsys.demon.nl/dfsee.htm#download The ZIP file has a DOS, Windows-NT and OS/2 executable. The best way to work on a Win-9x system is to create a bootable (DOS) diskette and run the DOS version from that. (DFSUNFD.BAT + DFSMDOS.EXE) It will create a large logfile that you can send to me for analysis. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some additional info about what YOU think should be the right partitions is helpfull! (number of partitions, size etc) Regards, Jan van Wijk PS: The site also has loads of (Pentax made) landscape images at: http://www.fsys.demon.nl/gallery/ --------------------------------------------------------- Jan van Wijk; www.fsys.demon.nl - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
