Help Needed! How to recover NTFS partition under Linux?

Greetings, fellow members.

I know this is kind of a long shot, but I'd really be happy if there were a way to recover files from a lost NTFS partition via some sort of miraculous software for Linux.

I know such software exists for XP. No idea whether I can get a similar deal for this one.

It would really make my life not be a living hell.

All help appreciated and thanked beforehand, Xerdo.

 

I haven't used this, but try http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12

Works straight off the CD and will boot without accessing your hard drive. It comes with a load of rescue tools to mess around with NTFS partitions.

 

Looks VERY Promising. Once I try it, I'll tell you if it did work.

I appreciate it a lot. I hope there's the possibility of one day buying you a drink for your help.

 

Cheers! From reading the blurb on the site, it would appear you need a file from the XP SP2 distribution, not sure if you spotted that, but make sure you have it when you burn the disc!

 

You can also try this out,its called Knoppix CD.

Very nice guide there Pikkon! I have used Knoppix in the past and it is a very nice OS, especially since it all runs from CD.
