I accidentally deleted the only partition on a hard drive here at work. It was NTFS. I have not yet exited FDISK. How do I get it back? Please help, and reply soon.
Also, should I try to recover it from DOS, or get my other drive up and running with windows and then start working at recovering it? Using dskprobe etc?
If you have deleted a parition from within FDISK you should reboot ASAP. If FDISK was from Windows 9x/ME, and you seen the "checking disk integrity..." message with percentage counting, it means some of your data already kissed you goodbye. Sad but true.
If you didn't see the percentages counting, chances are that you can manually recreate the partition. But DO NOT USE FDISK to recreate a partition, as it does destroy data in process. In your case the solution is to reboot, find NTFS boot sector with Norton Disk Editor and manually reconstruct the partition table. ----
