I've got a problem with my work's laptop, I've managed to delete an NTFS Partition (BIG MISTAKE), but the data still exists and would be recoverable with a tool called EasyRecovery from OnTrack (I've only got the trial version, which has found the files, but refuses to recover them unless I buy the full version). Trouble is, I would need a second hard drive to recover to and as far as I can tell, the laptop can't take a second drive.
I do own an APDL Datasafe and in theory could use this, if DOS drivers exist.
Alternatively (and probably simpler), could anyone suggest a FREE tool for DOS which might "UNDELETE" my NTFS partition??? Then I wouldn't have to use tools to recover odd files.
Apologies for off topic (PC) questions, but I think I'm likely to get more useful responses from the RISC OS [3] community.
Thanks in advance.

| Maybe gpart [8] could recover the partition. It's for linux though, so you'd need a linux boot disc. |

| Just so you know, the problem was solved by the loan of a 2nd hard-drive (media bay) for the laptop concerned - data was recovered - and the anxiety has now reduced! |
