DELPART

I've been using DELPART.COM to wipe my hard drive and then FDISK to partition it again.
My question is: is there a utility to recover "delparted disk" or is this absolutelly irrecoverable?

You could try NDD.exe (Norton Disk Doctor) with the /rebuild switch.
Someone here probably has it available someplace on the net. Worth a try.

You got lucky. And I did too; Norton Disk Doctor and Disktools has saved my butt on at least 100 occasions. I've got Norton 6.2... With Disk Doctor, Disktools, Wipeinfo, and Calibrate. We've had it on about every computer since our 8088 4.77 MHz with no hard disk. I'd be happy to give it to you, but how am I supposed to get it to you, you don't have an email address listed, and I don't know where to find or store it online.
