I just never learn... Help me get a partition back.

[BigToquex]

I have my 60GB drive split up into 4 partitions.

1. Win2k Primary - 5GB
2. Redhat 8.0 Primary - 3GB
** 52GB Extented **
3. 127 MB Linux Swap
4. 51.x GB FAT32

I used Partition magic 8 to shrink the FAT32 partition by 373 MB (to increase the Linux Swap partition to 500MB). About 2% into the process of shrinking the partition, the program screwed up saying there were bad clusters of data.

Now the partition is unaccessable. 98% of my data is still there (maybe even 100% of it). I want to know how to restore that partition or at least make it accessable to restore most of my data.

Any ideas?

I'm not willing to spend any money, because the data isn't that valuable. Just Music, random funny stuff collected, my address book with like 50 names/numbers.... nothing I can't re-create, but I'd still like to try.

dont know if it's too late, but i have a similar problem with my ntfs partition. I was able to recover most of my files with ontrack easy recover pro. Also, i am looking into a tool called recover it all'. that seems to be able to see that my partition is screwed up. however, i think this tool is strickly for window base. Or u can try virtuallab..they offer data recovery service. good luck and help me out if u find out how to recover partition. i still gotta fix mine. thx

look up my posting. later
