------- Original message -------

Don't know, but you could try the free demo program at www.uneraser.com .
If this demo is able to recover the file access table, the paid version
would let
you copy the files to another drive.  At 197 KB, it fits on a boot floppy,
and it
works on FAT, FAT32, and NTFS partitions.
