cool. so i bought myself a brand new compaq laptop nx 6110. but i somehow wanted to use my old pc hard drive (80g) so i decided to buy myself a welland external combo drive where you can put your hdd in and connect it via firewire.
80 gigs on firewire? sounds neat huh?
neat until 3 hours ago.
i decided to make some music on ableton live, which was on my external hard drive. my computer crashed, i restarted it and suddenly there is no way of entering one of my partitions on it.
the fun part is: this 15 gig partition contains my WHOLE musical software. every sample, flp file, synth, track is on it.
3 FUCKIN YEARS OF WORK.
LOST.
now i have to find someone who recovers disks. i will pay him even 500 dollars if he could just give me my files back....
fuck

maybe the second generation - computers made by computers will work better.

if the partition is not visible it could mean that the partition table on disk is gone. This should be possible to restore by hand, of course if you know what you're doing. Find a good specialist and also, you can make a 1:1 hardware copy from disk, there are some software for doing this. Otherwise, the restoring process may destroy all data beyond any hope.
Good luck !

dude, as the other guy said
before you try anything, even things that claim they're "nondestructive"
take a 1:1 clone of the hard drive. not just the files; the actual data on the drive, used or not. do the recovery on the copy, not the original.
a lot of these automated programs do more damage than help.

Maybe the MFT table got corrupted. It happened to me once. There were these two commands in the recovery mode dealing with such problems, but I forgot what they were. One of them certainly had "BOOT" in it. The other one copied the backed-up MFT table from the center or the end of the disk.
But I urge you to try BetDataBack. I heard only good things about it.
