can i recover files from a repatitioned hard drive

Hmmm....From the sounds of it, if you deleted the partition already then no you can not get the data back.  I have heard of some software that can grab partitons that were deleted from a Backup disk.  But I am not sure how that works.  And in your case I am guessing you dont have a backup disk.  Also if you installed an os on this drive that you want to recover data from, then you are pretty much stuck with what you have.  

Try http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecovery
I don't knw if it will find back your datas
 as you have deleted the partitions.
Maybe...

Lost and Found
Lost and Found recovers data from drives that have been formatted, lost partitions through accidental

deletion, etc. This applies to FAT or FAT32 partitions only. If the disk is still capable of spinning,

there is a chance of recovery.
Lost and Found only performs read operations on the affected hard disk. Many utilities attempt to repair

the hard disk and corrupt data in the process. Since Lost and Found only performs read operations, it

does not risk the integrity of the data on the disk.

Maybe one of those will help to recover from this.  I remember some that claim the ability to recover partitions.  There is also the possibility of sending the drive to Ontrack and letting them recover the data for you.

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS I APPRECIATE GREATLY

THANKS ALOT HOPE I CAN RETURN THE FAVOR

Umm thanks danthornhill. I don't want to seem ungrateful but I really think slink should get the points. Slink was the one that posted the list. The comment I made was in jest and I know slink would probably understand the humor. Sorry if my comment has caused a misunderstanding with you. :>)  

Yep.  Last time I gave the link from the list that I used.  It wasn't as apreciated as when you posted the whole list.  An extra 600 points would be nice, but that's life.

Points for slink9 ->  This TA

slink9 -->  Re. your comment, an extra 600 points would be nice.... maximum per question is 300 points, per the Guidelines.

600 = 150x4

300 point TOTAL per Q, splits included.

I can't find the EXACT scale that I remember, so I will quote it from memory.
150 point question
x4 for an A grade
----
600 question points added to expert points

Isn't this correct?

Correct, sorry, long morning.  You were talking about the EXPERT POINTS awarded based on grade, 100% correct.  Thought you meant the original points offered.
Thanks,
