I think you're out of luck. I've never heard of recovering a partition (hence all the warnings in fdisk!). Sorry.

You may be able to recover the data off.
never tried this product myself but it claims to work on drives that have had the partition table deleated.
The demo version is free but will not recover any files, it will however tell you what files can be recovered if you purchase the product.
You will need to install Windows on your second drive (Not the one that you wish to recover data from). After installing Windows, download this demo, hook up the drive that got F-disked, and have a look.

Here is a Quote from there site:
. What can Lost & Found recover from?


Lost and Found will recover data from a drive that has been formatted, accidental deletion of partitions etc. This includes FAT or FAT32 partitions only. If the disk is spinning there is a chance of recovery.

Wish you the best of luck http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Edit- Now that I think about it, I can't figure how it would recognize the drive with the deleated partion? Hmmm, I look thru there site farther- edit

No multiple posting, please.

It makes troubleshooting extremely difficult and frustrates the efforts of those helping.

Thanks!

Apologies to those who posted here.
