crashed logical drive during defragmentation: drive and partition lost

[Harald ARNOLD]

I have a big problem.

After running defragmentation on a WinXP NTFS harddisk
I had to recognize that the logical drive was lost. In
partition table I only see sensless beginning and stop
sector parameters.

On this hard disk I have (had) ALL photos and pictures
of my 11 month child :-((((

I tried recovery with StellarInfo.com. This programm
will find the logical drive and I see the list of files
with correct sizes in a list. But when doing recovery
to another disk ALL files get file size 0 :-(((

I didn't change ANYTHING on original crashed disk.

How can I recover those files of my baby doll ?

Thanks Harald

Greetings.

When I had a simmilar situation Active@ partition recovery tool helped
me. It worked great and was able to bring lost partitions back to life.
I'm pretty sure it will be able to help you too.

Hello,
I suppose using Data Recovery tool - Partition Table Doctor or EASEUS
DataRecoveryWizard.
It is imho the best one among it's family. Easy to use and powerful.
It actually never failed me before. Recommended!
