Earlier today I was booting a pc with a windows 2000 CD and had got to the early stage where it asks if you'd like to remove an existing partition on the hard disk.

Without me thinking, windows removed a partition from my firewire hardisk, when I actually meant to remove a partition from my internal hard disk.

No format has taken place - all the data should still be intact on the firewire harddisk. I simply got windows to delete the partition.

My question is:

a) Is it possible to put a partition back on the hard disk, and get to my data again.

b) What program would I use, or could someone spell out what steps need to be taken to recover the partition ?

Your help would be MUCHO appreciated

Could try this but think you have to create a rescue disk before you delete a partition.

Time machine and a tape drive would be the next best thing.

orbv, thank you so much for pointing that program out - it worked an absolute treat.
