Lost partition on storage drive, how to fix it

[starshooter10]

RECOVER MY FILES should work for you... it's free trial is enough to get the job done.....

it's easy to use and works well.....

Would the "Recover My Files" program recreate the partition that was lost, bringing all the files back to how they were before the crash? Or would it pull the data and form its own filing system and recreate each file individually without even trying to bring back the partition?

according to the discription http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ it will infact rebuild lost partitions

All I seem to be able to do is scan for lost files, not rebuild a lost partition. It makes me think that it's near impossible to even REBUILD the partition to be able to access the files that were on it.

I'd prefer to not be forced to pull the files off the HD.. but...

Anyone familiar with Recover My Files that could possibly help me out with this?

I do not know the problem and couldn't provide any help on that. Did the link Cauzomb provided offered any help at all?

If you can slave this HD to a working machine then check to see if the files are viewable/accessible, if so you won't need a 3rd party program.

I reviewed the link for the Recover My Files program. I figured I'd give it a shot and downloaded the trial version. It would scan the entire drive and rebuild file names, but I couldn't save my files to my Primary HDD. I bought it, and tried again to use it. The only function that seems to be available for recovering them is to save files from that hard drive to another hard drive that's already functioning. I was under the impression that it could rebuild my HDD partition and not force me to move all my files to a separate HDD.
The HDD that's giving me problems was a slave/secondary drive on which I saved many important files. (No, I didn't back it up )
I'm glad to see that I can get most of my files back, but I'd like to find out if there's a way to fix the partition on the drive, rather than rebuilding it temporarily and forcing me to move all of my files.

If anyone's familiar with this Recover My Files program, I'd love the input. Also, if anyone's considering using the program for file recovery, it's a great tool and well worth it.

Thanks in advance..
