I have had this problem once before installing XP on my SATA 200G Maxtor, but it got solved when i formatted the primary partition to FAT32 and installed XP on the second partition which is NTFS.

But now that I have gotten bad clusters on my other drive, the drive i have 2k on that I use now, i started to copy off files from it to my XP partition, but it could never finish copying the files, so i canceled the copying and went to restart so I could boot from my XP drive.

But then I get Error loading operating system, and when i start in 2k again, both drives show up as unformatted. I try using testdisk to restore the boot and MBR records, but no luck. Any ideas how I can either restore the partitions or recover the data from there? I've tried getdataback which sees some files and directories but they are very few.
