Netware Partition Recovery

[Monsores]

Hi.
I had problems with my Netware 5.1 SB Server and the HD partition table was lost... Although I have backups from the most important, there are some test directories I do not.
Is there any tool (like Easy Recovery for NTFS partitions) to recover Netware Partitions?

Thanks.

Hi

There is no easy tool, but I have seen it done with debug etc.
Essentially the link is broken from the Dos partition to the Netware partition. This link can be recreated using debug, best to call someone how does this thing on a regular basis.

Thanks David.

My problem is that even the DOS partition was erased. The HD is empty. I don´t know how it happened. My server motherboard stopped working and when I put a new one the HD partitions were gone...
After I sent the first message I found a software called Stellar Phoenix and used it to check the HD and averything is there, ready to be recovered. But the software is just a demo version and I have to buy it to be able to recover the files.
I would like to know if there are other softwares like Stellar to evaluate more than one option before buying.
I don´t know how to use debug in this situation. If I put this HD as slave of another (or recreate the DOS partition in the empty HD) could the recovery be done? How should I proceed?

Is it just your DOS partition missing? Does FDISK )for example) show other Non-DOS partitions that could be the NetWare partition?

No, both the DOS partition and the Netware partition are missing. The HD is completely empty. FDISK doesn´t show any partitions on it.
