I tried the partition magic 7.0 (as 8.0 was not available in market) but it wouldn't recognize the drive...later I tried to recover it with Easy recovery( professional edition) but that won't do the work too..and lost at last, I tried to format the drive But it wouldn't get formattted (lest the drive now resulted in the RAW file system) ...Is there any chance that only partition get severely damaged not to be recovered again??? I don't have any idea right now.... BLANK AND DEEPLY in need of HELP Nirman
