its saying file type is RAW instead of ntfs

doesnt sound good

See if TestDisk can see the partition. (Maybe the partition table got clobbered somehow.)

this is an awesome tool, fixed my icy box drive before

cheers for the replies =)

instead of checking back here (d'oh) i used get data back (top app btw )
then reformatted the drive without losing any data

i wonder if the method mentioned above would have worked

ohwell

:s
