Hi All,

Perhaps one of you guru's out there can help me out.

I just installed a new motherboard and hard drive, tranferring my existing memory and cpu to a new case with the new board and drive. I made the primary in my old system into a slave in my new one.

On the old primary I had a boot partition, which I reformatted, and 4 other partitions. The problem is that the new XP Pro install sees the 4 partitions as unformatted disk space. My life is on those partitions and I desperately need to get that data back.

Does anyone have any ideas? I am trying to get a copy of Easy Recovery Pro 6 to see if that will be able to salvage my data.

Please help me ASAP. I have projects that are due on those partitions and need to save them!

Thanks in advance!

Were you able to view their contents before you reformatted the boot partition on the drive?
