Partition Corrupted

[Saga]

I corrupted my partition where I have some files. Does anyone know of a
partition and/or data recovery s/w that will work with win2k, NTFS? And
that it costs less than $50USD. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Here are a few:

After you've restored your data, you might
want to examine your backup strategy.

Thanks Pegasus, I'll have a look at the links that you provided.

My backup startegy:

1. Use file server to save backup of production PCs
2. Use external media to have permanent backup (CDs do it for me)
3. Have temporary store to hold backup data

(#3 is a bit odd, sometimes I need to restore the CD data to
make modifications to it, such as deleting or adding files,
changing the file structure, etc, so I get the data from the CD,
make the changes and write back to CD. This is mostly for
archival data so that it is easy to find as more is added.)

Addendum to backup strategy:

4. Never mess with the PC where the temporary data
is located! ;-)

Although I technically didn't lose any data, I did lose
hours of work restructuring the file system, so I would
like to get that back so I can write it to CD.

I appreciate your help and recommendation!
