Program to see drive contents

I had a weird thing happen.. I have two drives and one of them had corrupted partition information.. I created new partitions on the master drive and reinstalled Windows.. when I connected up the second drive Windows says it's not formatted.. is there a program I can use to access that information despite the fact Windows doesn't see it?
 
Win98 boot disk, fdisk will let you see it, or a better one is Partition Magic 7, sweeeeeet program.

:cool:
 
Will it allow me to access files on the drive though?
 
Ok, does anyone know of a program that can rebuild partitions or recover all those files? I used NTFS on 2 partitions and FAT32 on 1 partition. All the info I want is on a NTFS partition.
 
if you repartition and then reformat there are a few programs that will allow u to get "some" of the files that were on that hard drive.

Easyrecovery is one that will, there are others of course.

just so you know it will not recovery 100% of the files once a format takes place, and a new OS is put on. some of those files will be lost due to being overwritten.

good luck

:cool:
 
Thanks Iceman.. I think it's too late now.. when I used partition magic to look at my main drive the three partitions originally on it were gone and there was only a single 1.13MB partition left. I removed it with Fdisk and created two new partitions.. since I did that the second drive's three partitions disappeared and the drive is seen as unformatted by Windows.. I have tried EasyRecovery and some other programs to attempt to recover the data on the drive but without a file system it can't help me.. at this point it seems without sneding my drive to a data recovery company I will have to lose the data on the second drive.. I haven't formatted the second drive yet in hopes there is a way still to recover the data..
 
I managed to retrieve my files using a program called RStudio.. it works very well and fairly fast for a recovery program.. so, with that I recommend this program to all..

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
