Re: Data Recovery
Sounds like it might be a trashed partition table Jay.
Typically what happens is that the file operation occurs, then the table is updated. If the power is cut during the update, the table could potentially be corrupted. When such a situation occurs, chances are that the data which composes the files is fine.
Such being said, I haven't had to recover a partition table in so many years that I'm not sure what the best software solution out there right now is. The aforementioned linux boot cd & recovery is certainly worth a try. Worst that happens is that it can't see anything.
