Partition table

[flamingspinach]

I'm fairly sure I have managed to destroy the master boot record of one of my hard drives, by attempting to restore a MBR backup using `dd`. The drive contained a FAT partition (Dell's standard utility partition), an NTFS partition, and about 70MB free space at the end. Is there any way for me to recover any data from the drive without a partition table? PartitionMagic shows the entire drive as "ERROR #116", if I recall correctly.

Thanks!

Partition Table Doctor and Super Fdisk works very well in situations like this and if it does not, then there are data recovery tools such as:

• TestDisk
• R-Studio
• Runtime's GetDataBack
• Spinright
• Ontrack's Easy Recovery Pro
• Quetek
• File Scavenger
• HDD Regenerator
• Freeware Data Recovery Tools ***Free***
• Freeware Restoration ***Free***
• PC Inspector ***Free***
• Smart NTFS Recovery***Free***
• Smart FAT Recovery***Free***
• ACR Data Recovery
• DataRecoveryWizard
• Recover My Files
