sdb2 being the partition in question...
THIS is the partition I have been trying to recover files from. Apparently, something went wrong when I tried to merge the 2 NTFS parts together from within XP using Partition Magic. Now its reported as an unformatted drive. Using a recovery sw (dont remember which..) I can see the files - but am only able to recover them as RAW files, meaning no titles etc...
Can this be done from with in *NIX, without playing with a live CD? I have searched for recovery progs, but I'm not having much luck...
