Just as an FYI to everyone here.  I may have destroyed my computer and lost all my artwork, art software and files from over the last decade or so on my computer.  Yeah, just as I get a new DVD burner and Hard Drive.

I am hoping all is not lost though but it may be.  Does anyone know if you can recover data from an accidentally repartitioned hard drive and if so... how do I pull that miracle off?

Oh yeah, it has to be free to dirt cheap too.  I'm in a major financial crisis.

So, this is just another pickle on top of this sundae of fun.

Thanks for any advice.
