I have come into a situation which is a little out of my depth.
Yesterday I had to reinstall Win XP at a notebook (it was
virus-infected, and I couldn't get rid of the virus). Before doing this
I copied the default user folders and some more folders to an external
harddisk. - I then reinstalled Win XP, where the harddisk partition for
instance was changes from FAT32 to NTFS. But now I cannot gain access to
the external backup disk anymore, it looks like the disk simply has
died. This has been tested from many computers...
Now my question: How can I recover the old FAT32 filesystem from the
notebook harddrive. I have previously played a bit around with both NTFS
and FAT32 recovery, but I have never tried to combine these two. And at
the moment there is NTFS installed at the notebook where it previously
was FAT32. - And to make it even worse there was a full format of the
harddisk during the installation (not just the quick one).
It is vital that I can recover at least one of the directories from one
of the users documents folder.
