ok, i hav 2 HD's, i put everything (including all documents and backup) on my Maxtor(2nd HD), while i was installing vista and re-installing xp on my main HD; anyways i used partition magic to change drive letters, i've done it before with no problems, and when i changed the drive letters of my Maxtor(2nd HD), and partitions on my main HD, it erased everything, only one partition's data didn't erase im lookin up "Recover My Files" software, and might actually shell out $40 for "Recover Lost Data" Software Is there anything else I should do; i hope the software works!
There are couple of programs I've listed here http://www.hardwareforums.com/4gb-data-lost-urgent-help-needed-16915/#post110612 Also, according to me u can only hope for the recovery with any particular program... ! Try them they are free!
i don't like PM, many others don't like it either, personally i use Acronis Partition Expert but the updated version is now part of Acronis Disk Director Suite Acronis PE 2k3 is great
