???????????????????????

I have a PQRP problem with my hard disk.

I had 3 partitions

Part. 1(Primary) | Part. 2.(Primary) | Part. 3(logical)
(Win Me) | (Win Me) |

I was trying to resize Part. 1& 2 using Partition Magic 7.0 to have a larger Part 3. While resizing Part. 2 PM crashed and when I restarted I couldn’t see anything. So I used PM Emergency Boot Disks and saw the Type is PQRP and used Ptedit to change to FAT32 but still I can’t access the partition. Part 1 and 3 are OK and I can access them.

I read a number of posts. So I decided to change the type back to PqRP and run Svend Olaf’s “findpart” utility. Here are the output files

====================

I want to recover the data in the PqRP partition.

Can somebody help me, please?
 
Got the partition back with the help of Svend Olaf. Greate guy knows what he does. One advice: Do not listen to any other advice once you start the recovery process with Svend.
