Hello everyone,

Please help me! I just installed a new harddrive, successfully installing XP
on it. Now, I kept my second drive with all my stuff on it. This second
drive has 3 partitions (IMAGES, STORE and DEV). Now, with PM, I resized the
IMAGES partition to make 1.5gb of free space after. In this free space, I
told PM to create a new partition (WXPSWAP). OK, this is where the problem
begins. In the middle of the resize/create operation, PM spits a "Bad boot
signature byte" error, and after that, I am now left with my IMAGES
partition renamed to WXPSWAP, and it is now empty! =( =( The unpartitioned
space (1.5gb) after is still there.... I.e. I screwed up big time! Can
someone please help me? Any suggestions as to how I can recover the data on
IMAGES? Please?

Utmost thanks for your help!

OK! I downloaded "Stellar Phoenix NTFS 2.1" and it shows all the files
there! However, it is a demo and I cannot recover them =( Anyone have any
ideas on a free program similar to this?
