Howard needs some help

[Steve]

I'm writing this for Howard as I've been trying to help him with it. But, to be honest, I've run out of ideas, and without being on the computer there's not a great deal I can do.

Basically, he has a 160MB drive as his D: drive. Apparantly it has some sort of EZ Drive BIOS, the nature or workings of which I am unsure.

Now, in the process of using a partitioning utilty, it's all gone a bit pear shaped.

The drive now reports a 160GB partition (as per 7tools partition manager) which is of an "other" filesystem type. Changing the partition code hasn't helped. There is also a 126GB "[free]" partition, presumably related to EZ-Drive.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what action to take from here other than a sector based recovery of the 76GB of files on that thing! Partition Magic isn't working at the moment, so any advice on ways to get that up and running, or any CD bootable partition fixing utilities are greatly welcomed!

Thanks.

Oh OK he doesn't need help any more! He sorted it without my help too.

How? Sounds tricky

[Steve]

Found a program that could "undelete" the partition, basically, AFAIK.

Basically I'm a berk and didn't figure out how to use the software properly until after I'd finished backing everything up
