W2K-Server: One of my Harddisk is shown as Raw-Format, but
it was formatted as NTFS. All of my data are lost! What
can I do to get my data back?
 
You can use diskprobe to see if the partition total sectors is 1 sector
larger than the total sectors in the boot sector for starters. If they
check out, see if the boot sector information for sectors to MFT is correct.
Otherwise, download software that may be able to recover the data from the
drive.

Hi, Helmut.

There may be other sources, but DiskProbe is included in the Win2K Pro
Resource Kit (about $60 from MS Press, or discounted at several bookstores).
DiskProbe is NOT a tool for newbies!
