[Thinkpad] Re: [OT] drive recovery

Hello,

If it turns out that partition table editing/recovery programs do not work
then you might want to consider using Runtime Software's GetDataBack line
of data recovery utilities. I've had good success in the past with them.

The URL is <http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm>.
