Thank you for this excellent tool! I have managed to make a colossal mistake as I idiotically had the wrong drive selected (an external 320Gb NTFS 1 partition Toshiba HD) instead of a Cruzer 4Gb USB stick when I used BOOTICE to do a repartition + format to USB-HDD mode. About 5 seconds after I started the format, I realised to my horror what I had done and frantically pulled out the USB HD cable while the program was running. I only have myself to blame to for this error. Most unfortunately, this drive has many many gigabytes of irreplacable non-backed up personal stuff on it. Now as a result of my cockup, the drive does not have any recognisable partitions - Windows now won't find or recognise any partitions on it, nor will 2 commercial recovery tools I've tried, Acronis RecoveryExpert Deluxe & Active Undelete. If I try to go into it via Explorer, it thinks the drive is not formatted. Before I go have a nervous breakdown when it fully sinks in just how much data there was on that one drive, I thought I'd ask here in the forlorn hope that someone out there might have some words of advice, even if its confirmation there's definitely nothing I can do now..? Thanks. DMTelf
