Often, the more data goes poof at once the more likely it is you can fix it
'in place'. When the partition table woes an entire partition will
dissappear, when a boot sector woes the contents of an entire
partition/volume will be gone. Often partition tables and boot sectors can
be fixed using our tool DiskPatch.

If you create a logfile with the demo version and contact us through our
online forum we may be able to help.

You can create an analysis log as follows:
a.. Start DiskPatch
b.. select the appropriate disk
c.. go to [Tools] menu
d.. select [Analyze Disk]
e.. let the scan finish
f.. exit DiskPatch
g.. include the now created DP.LOG file in your support request
The disk analysis log contains information about the disk layout (partition
tables), the boot sectors of individual partitions and all components that
DiskPatch found during the disk scan.

More information on DiskPatch can be found @ <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.diskpatch.com." target="_blank">www.diskpatch.com.</a>
