I had a evaluation version of Ontrack on my Win2000pro box and have been trying it out on the drive.

Ontrack can see files and rebuild or do raw data recovery but the files are all scrambled to hell and back.

I have it doing a scan now, will let you know how it turns out.

1 file in 1000 is not scrambled, what a mess!

So far the only tool that has worked at all has been the Ontrack data recovery, nice to have this one in my toolkit for future disaster.

I guess it is time to bite the bullet and go with some sort of automated backup solution.

Might be a little late on this but Active Undelete I've had incredible amount of success with and think it works better then EZRecovery if you can get it. It's what we use at work if we need to use a recovery tool off of our sales reps laptops that don't have access to our network for the most part and store things locally.

I can look into it, the partition and files look shredded though.

It does take a while to run, we set the drives up as a secondary drive and let it run over night as it does take a good 4-8 hours to run sometimes. As long as the bios recognizes that there's a drive there and the platters spin up, we've had pretty good luck with it.
