My system:
Multiboot, all FAT32: 98, ME, and XP pro. My wife was in XP, and downloaded a language translator. Upon installation, it crashed the system. I was no longer able to boot into XP. I booted into 98, and found My Documents folder in the XP partition, where all of my irreplaceable data was. All the folders were there, but NO DATA!
I have run several data recovery programs, to no avail. They find the files, but they are corrupt. I am in the process now, of doing a RAW data recovery, Using EasyRecovery Professional from Ontrack. Do you think that will get my data back?
I downloaded the DTIDATA File Recovery Tree, and it did find most of my stuff, but I am unwilling to fork over $300, only to find the recovered data corrupt as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
One more thing, my Outlook 2000 was installed on a seperate partition, the one running 98. All data on that partition is intact and untouched. I haven't tried it yet, but is there a way to get my contact list from that? If so, how?
Thanks,
