Recover data from old boot partition

[phildman14]

Hi ****, I kind of got myself into a jam. I backed up all my important info onto my ipod and laptop over the network. Then my plan was to wipe my single drive and install xp over the whole thing. I ran the installer once and it kept hanging at some 19gig part so i rebooted and quick wiped my drive so it wouldnt hang anymore. But again it hung until i realized my ipod was the 19gig thing it was hanging on. So i rebooted and removed my ipod, to discover it had been corrupted. All the songs are there but when i try to play them it crashes and it wont show up on my laptop now. So im assuming all that datas gone since its on my ipod. So now i want to know how i can go back onto the hdd of my old comp and recover those files i had put onto my ipod.
I have a "blank" 200gig SATA drive with 3 "old" partitions on it and i havent done anything to it since. Is there a way i can over the network or through dos at boot up recover those files? Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Recover My Files needs Windows to run, so the best thing to do would be to connect the drive as a secondary drive to another computer. Then you can run Recover My Files from the C: drive and try and get the data back from your problem drive, and also your ipod.

You should be able to get your data back from your drive. I suggest you try running a "Complete Format Recover".

You should aslo be able to recover files from your IPDO. There are some Ipod recovery instructions located here: http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ipod-recovery.php
