    Try Recuva, but it may be difficult. Download Recuva 1.43.623 - FileHippo.com

    And here is another option: Free Partition Recovery Software, Deleted Partition Recovery, Hard Disk Recovery, Free Disk Partition Recovery, Active Partition Recovery Software, NTFS Partition Recovery, Recovery Partition, Drive Partition Recovery, Hard Drive Partition Recovery T

    Did you have any success?

    I've just booted to discover a 40Gig partition is now free space.

    Prior to this I used Perfect Disk to boot defrag another partition. The operation was a success.. Last thing late last night I had an OS crash (blank screen after no use, couldn't recover so had to hard power down, not sure if that's when the data went)....

    Running remo recover first.. Any info very welcome, I don't know why the data's disappeared, I don't even know exactly what was on there, and have no backup

    Thanks for any insights
