Hi all,
and thanks for the help. I've sorted it out now. I woke up early this morning and had a play around. I looked at the site you mentioned Richard, and the brain wasn't up to creating boot disks that early in the morning.
I thought I'd have a quick look around ZDNet first, and I found a program that did the job.
Restorer2000 Data Recovery Software 2.0
The trial version did the job fine, and in the background. It recovered any files below 64Kb in size (the full purchased version handled the bigger stuff), which was plenty to save what I needed, ie; documents. It also, (although the files were too big to recover) gave me the names of all the programs on there, so I can reload the ones that couldn't be recovered.
So I'm all sorted now, except to format the E: drive to get it running again.
Thanks again.
Rick, check your PMs in a minute..
Cheers
Liam
