OK heres the problem. I have 2 hard drives. The first is my Maxtor 15 gig which I had partitioned into two a c: and e: Win2k was on c: and e: had all important files which I at the moment cannot see. The other drive d: is my old Fujitsu. I tried installing Mandrake Linux on the d: and it didn't work...some boot up error "stage1". So now I couldn't boot into anything anymore. After trying hard to re-install win2k it would not work. I noticed when booting into DOS that my e: was not being recognized anymore. After fdisk /mbr....I was able to boot into win2k. I can see my d: (fujitsu) and only my c: my first partition. When looking under disk manager my Maxtor c: is shown and the exact size of my e:... which isn't listed as e: ... reads as a green bar "free space". Is there ANYYYY way to get the information back from that partition?? I have important files on the drive. Help my please....
