Help to Recover FAT drive slaved to NTFS

[cyndetech]

Hi,
I'm trying to recover some data off of a FAT32 drive by slaving it to my PC. Of course my drive is formatted NTFS and it sees the drive, but I can't access it. I've tried a couple of demo programs that see the data fine, but want a zillion bucks to copy it. I'm doing this as a favor for a non profit group, is there any sofware/utility I can use to copy this on to my local drive?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Cynde

Slaving the drive to a NTFS drive should have no bearing on whether it is Fat32 or NTFS.

it really sounds like you are talking about a corrupt Fat32 partition.
try chkdsk /r on the drive

this program is free

otherwise you are gonna have to pay to get the data.

Hey,
Thanks, I tried the PCinspector, it didn't work. I wonder why I can use one of those demo programs and it works, but this one doesn't see it.
Thanks for the help, I'm going to keep digging.

Is the drive recognised when you put it as a master and boot from it?

What were the original symptoms?
