Susan IIRC You would want to use the DOS utilities that boot from the floppy drive to do this. Norton CD shoul dhave them on it. You can check the reference guide to be sure. (yes they actually have it something useful) HTH JB PS: If you can find your NU contact me offlist, I have another suggestion. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Klos, Susan Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 1:35 PM To: 'accessd at databaseadvisors.com' Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: Recover data from a HDD that seems to have died Actually, I think I do have an older version of Norton around the computer room somewhere. -----Original Message----- From: Neal Kling [mailto:nkling at co.montgomery.ny.us] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 2:32 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: Recover data from a HDD that seems to have died That's good to know. I didn't realize that. I think I have a hand-full of various Norton versions. Not that it does Susan any good, but maybe she has it as well.

Good old Norton Utilities could search the disk sequentially for lost partitions and rebuild them. I haven't used this for years, though, and have no idea if it will handle today's multi-gigabyte partitions ... /gustav > If the partition is truely gone this isn't something that can be fixed > by a home user.
