Hi!

I accidently deleted the wrong partition when I was reinstalling XP
the other night. I deleted the one that was on my external USB disk.
I remembered reading about findpart in this group so I downloaded the
program and ran it on disk 2. This is what findpart said:

Findpart, version 4.63 - for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
Copyright Svend Olaf Mikkelsen, 1999-2005.

OS: Windows 5.0.2195 Service Pack 3

Disk: 2 Cylinders: 15017 Heads: 255 Sectors: 63 MB: 117796

--PCyl N ID -----Rel -----Num ---MB --Start CHS- ---End CHS-- BS CHS
0 - 0C 63241248042117796 0 1 1 15016 254 63 B OK

------FAT CHS -Size Cl --Root -Good -Rep. Maybe --Bad YY-MM-DD DataMB
0 1 33 29446 32 2 29446 0 0 0 04-03-18 85192

Partitions according to partition tables on second harddisk:

None.

The disk is an 120GB Iomega USB device.

Is it possible to get the partition back? As far as I can understand
from the output findpart finds something that looks like my old
partition.

Any advice much appreciated!


/Best regards

Assuming the internals of the partition are OK, the commands to add
the partition to the partition tables may be:

set findpart=edit
findpart 2 0 1 - 0C 0 1 1 15016 254 63 0 15017 255 63 26

If "findpart 2 table" afterwards shows an "NB" you have to take care.

Findpart Chsdir will check if the partition is OK. If findings from
FAT matches directory findings, the partition is OK.

Or copy the files to current directory and below:

findpart chsdir 2 0 1 1 copy
 
It worked great!

Thanks!

Your killfile sprung a leak again, Joepie?
Nope

Still can't find how to manage that killfile of yours, isn't it, Joepie.

Nope. It's my killfile Volkert. Anyway, you changed the subject like you
always do when you can't talk your way out.
