[TriLUG] NTFS corrupted partition recovery????

Open Source, no. I could suggest some places to look for said utilities
outside the list.

Your best bet would be trying something NTFSDOS. If you're still stuck,
contact me off list (eric.olson at gmail.com), and I'll give you some other
ideas.

Subject: [TriLUG] NTFS corrupted partition recovery????

All,

A large NTFS file partition ( 84gb ) has become corrupted. Spinrite sees
it as an NTFS or HPFS (??) partition and gladly processes it, but no
change. Ubuntu sees it as an NTFS or HPFS ( ?? ), but will not mount it.

Says it is corrupted to use chkdsk to recover. Chkdisk says it is a RAW
file and will not work on it. Winxp says it needs formatting.

I have found an application called "Getdataback" that appears to recover
the files, but to save the files they want 80 dollars for registration. 
Anyone know of an open source application that will recover the files
and/or partition structure???
