I'm doing this from memory but here goes:

1. Install the program in Windows
2. Create either a bootable CD or floppy image
3. Make SURE your external HDD is correctly connected and powered.
4. Boot from the now bootable device.
5. After the program loads, select the appropriate partition.
6. Either by right clicking on the partition or accessing the menu, there should be an option to recover or restore the partition.
7. After it says it is complete, make sure you save and allow it to write to the drive.
8. Remove bootable media.
9. Reboot machine.
Crap, I don't have a floppy drive...

hmm
you could always try dir
and then see if there's an extra device.. like G: (if you havn't got one before)

and then... go there by typing G:

and maybe some folder or an executable.. just like IRC

Actually what do you mean by the 4. Boot from the now bootable device?


boot from the cd and then run the program from the command shell
Could you tell me more how to run it? when I restarted the laptop with the CD in it, it gave a message that said something like, "please enter the correct location"

dude seriously
read the website or help document

i gave you advise on it.

Well that site doesn't seem to help much because it's under the assumption that the broken HDD will appear in the Partition Table field which it isn't showing
