My windows got corrupted and when i tried to reinstall XP, the F partition in my hard drive is shown as unformatted space. How can i recover the data from my F drive? Pls help.

Google Knoppix or any other live cd Recuva Test disk UK MP's are thieving scumbags. EU members are worse.

If you re-installed WinXP using an ORIGINAL version of WinXP AND your F partition is larger than 127GB then you need to first install a service pack and then the partition may be OK. If not, then use Testdisk to fix the partition. If there is mission critical data on the partition (no backups?) then first try recovery software. When using testdisk it is important that you read the tutuorials FIRST. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Test... http://www.filehippo.com/download_r...

Zero assumption Recovery http://www.z-a-recovery.com The demo is limited It will only recover 'up to' four folders per run But you can make multiple runs IMO the best, but not free GetDataBack http://www.runtime.org/
