Files are still there, but Partition is gone...

I have a secondary HD attached to my computer. This HD is 250GB and is split into 2 partitions of about 119GB each. Both partitions are NTFS. For some stupid reason, I decided to convert 1 of the partitions to FAT 32 and now the drive letter won't show up. I've used r-studio NTFS 2.0 and I can see that the files are all there, but unforunately, the version of r-studio I have doesn't seem to be able to recover the files in full (on portions of each file).

The weird thing is that the partition doesn't show up in any partition management software nor does it show up in the win XP disk management tool.

The files are there, but the partition isn't. I'm running win XP Pro. What are my options?

Thanks for your time,
hoopz
