Hi, my name is gosh and i will be resolving your issue today.
More information is needed. Was the partition extended or primary? In disk management what is the status of the disk? Just go to start > run > C:\WINDOWS\system32\diskmgmt.msc. Does it display the right partition size?
Do you have goback/partition magic/drive overlay? Who made the hard drive? Can you access the data from recovery console or a bootdisk? If so copy the data to your other partition.
You could also try chkdsk /f /r, from a runbox, however there is a chance of data loss doing that.
However, you probably have a bad partition table. I've corrupted my partition table many times. In each case i got all my data back using r-studio. Ontrack.com is also nice, it can actually scan your hard drive and tell you what files it can recover.
The only fix for a bad fat is to manually edit the partition table using dskprobe.exe. I don't be doing that.
The reason this happened is because you had something nonstandard in the partition table and i guess sp1 wrote a new mbr.

Gossh!!! I wasn't far from target when I recommended the following in my post above....May even have been a better solution.
Copying files from dos is not my idea of a good time. Twice ive recovered all my data using r-studio. I can send it but it looks like the data is recovered.
Good job for finding the solution meandrake, the score is what...
