I have a 500 GB 'backup disk' on a relatively new (1 month old) machine. It was supplied to me set up as a single NTFS partition. I have a significant number of backup files saved on the disk. I cannot see them anymore in My Computer.
I inadvertently deleted the partition on this drive using the "Disk Management" software in XP Pro. I was cleaning up another disk that was attached to the machine at the time.
I have not written to the 500 GB disk since I did this. The last act done to the disk was a defrag last night.
Is Recuva a good tool to use to restore this disk to the state it was in before I deleted the partition?
As I see it, I need to restore the partition information and the file allocation table.
If not, does anyone have any alternative suggestions?
Thanks,
