partition table lost after partition magic resize

Hi,
After a resize attempt with partition magic 6 I cannot access the data on my
second drive.
It had 2 parttions
1- windows (fat32) ~10mb
2- linux (mandrake) ~10mb

I've used linux to delete the linux partition and then tried to resize the
win partition to take the whole space.

I sent the drive to a tech but I got back corrupted files and many bad
blocks.

I used ' findpart tables fp1-2.txt ' and here is the result:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Findpart, version 4.42.

None.

Is this of any help?

thanx.

Thank you for taking your time again.

I took the drive to the techy and it took a lot to get it back. Sorry.

I think this is exactly what the tech tried to do. But we got only partial
files. I mean, the image files were truncated, I could only see part of it.
And there were duplicated file names, also. It looked a mess to me.

Since I was trying to resize one partition to take the whole disk, and the
process was almost finished when PM6 hung, do you think I could overwrite
the actual partition with the new settings? What, I suppose, PM6 failed to
do.

No. Until before the resize attempt, the drive was jsut fine.

Thank you very much
