How to recover data from a file

Hello, All:

I have a 3 Giga Bytes hard disk. It was partitioned
into two parts. 2 Giga for the first part and 1 Giga for
the second part. These two parts are associated with a
logical drive (i.e., C: and D). Due to install Windows NT
4.0, I accidentally destroyed the partition of the
second part. (I make both partitions un-partitioned)

When I used another hard disk with Windows 98 to boot
the system and with the above hard disk as slave. I can
only see disk D (the first part) while the second part
(logical drive E) is invisible. Hence, I cannot access
those data within it. However, those data in that part
are very important to me. So I want to recover it.
A friend of mine used Norton DiskEditor to write those
part of data into a file (called 'Data').

I know those data is still there in the hard disk.
Unfortunately, my friend used anther software tried to
recover those files, but accidentally it ended up erasing
those data. Right now, I still have the file 'Data' which
is written by Norton DiskEditor. I just wonder if there
any way that I can try to extract those files directly
from the file 'Data.' Does anybody know how to do it or
any tool can handle it? If you know, please tell me.
Thank you very much in advance.


-Mike
