    Then if a user happens to have a program that saves the PT to say a floppy, then in theory that would be your solution if i read this right. Some thierd party tools allow to make a save of these in event they are needed for whatever reason, and if KillDisk corrupts the PT, a simple overwrite of the corrupt PT with this type app should recover the PT. Does this seem acceptable?

    In theory yes. But since I've not tested I can say for sure.

    In a pinch theres usually no time to dig up such utilities when there is a dependable alternative. But this is something worth investigating myself.

    As soon as i can clear my table agenda i'll test this on one of my spare HD's with KillDisk to see exactly which utilities, including some free CD partition undelete apps, partition editors, to determine if they can really be of any use in such a sequence.

    Regards EASTER
