Clarence, It looks like you should be able to restore your files. You will probably have to create a partition in the space of the lost partition. I say this because LF asks you which drive to recover files from -- how are you going to tell it "from the drive that disappeared"? Also, LF works only on FAT16 and FAT32 drives, so I don't think you will be able to recover TO an NTFS drive. If those are the only other drives on the disk you will probably need another disk to recover to. The PQ website doesn't say specifically that LF works on NT/FAT, but I found this on the original post from ZP that referred me to the product: Message 6751177 Lost & Found works on PCs with Windows 3.x, 95, 98, NT, and DOS operating systems with FAT or FAT32 file systems. Launched from a bootable floppy diskette, Lost & Found has a simple, menu-driven interface that even non-technical users will find easy to use. And at just USD $69.95 (plus shipping**), it's incredibly inexpensive data insurance. Check the article from PC Magazine on the PQ website that reviews the product -- it has some good information and may help your confidence. Finally, I would still call PQ to clear up any details about the partitioning question and where to restore to. wily
