Recover hard drive data?

[NevadaGator]

Long story, my second hard drive now has two partitions that show that no data is recognized. I got a program that gave me a free scan to see if there was data, and all my data is still there. Is there another way other than $200 for the program to get the data back? A program that will undo the partition (made on WinXP but the drive was/is being used on WinME (again, don't ask ), to merge the partitions, to recognize the data, and to recover the data? Any DOS workaround? DOS says it can't read any data.

Thanks!

Search around the net for a freebie copy of Lost and Found. Should still be available. After download, the instal makes 3 floppies, Boot from the first one and you will be able to copy your data to a good drive.

You can try Lost & Found

Redhatlinux was faster.

All I found was the demo It will scan but not copy. Confirmed, files are still in it.

Hmm $15. That I can live with. Now before I buy it, I rebooted and it showed both HDs but it said that C (corrupted is D) was corrupted and could not be used as a destination file. However it works perfectly. It's where the OS is and the HD that the comp is running on. How can this be fixed?

Help, anyone? What could the error mean? Do I have more options?
