a problem with a Barracuda IV ...help !

[DrPara]

given harddisk : Barracuda 4 with 3 partitions(1ntfs + 2 fat32)
sittuation : while trying to make it slave i accidentally put the jumper
on the " USE ONLY 32 GB" slot ;( ;( (i personally haven't encountered such an option before)
after working a few minutes with the other installed hdd , i found out that the info on the Barracuda cannot be red;

now it only reads 2 partitions (tried all jumper settings ) and Win2000 says they aren't formatted !!

help ! is there ANY way to recover the data ?!!!!

There is recovery software available (search the web for hard drive partition recovery) which scans the hard drive bit by bit and locates existing data, and copies the files and directories to another drive. However there's no way to simply reconstruct the partitions as they were before on the same drive.

im trying Active partiotion recovery which scans the entire hdd for partitions ..too bad is only demo (cant write anything) ; but it only finds the NTFS partition !? ..hmm ill do more research
