About a month ago WinXP would not start one of my harddrives. It was strange I could see the drive twice in the Disk manager. One had no partition setup and the other was the one that had been formated. I ended up getting R-Studio 2.0 from http://www.r-studio.com/ and recovered every single file.

Oh it runs in windows instead of a boot disk and will let you restore to a local or network drive.
