complete folder undelete,norton disk editor?
poster
probably and possibly some files possibly fragmented .However in
norton disk editor/advanced recovery when you play with sectors per
fat and other numbers you get to see a root directory and folders in
it along with starting cluster and size.Is it possible to enter to see
inside those folders and what is the procedure to copy the individual
folder to say fat32 partition 2 which is ok
thanks in advance and if possible please copy the reply to my email as
well

Sorry Poster,
but a system partition with deleted MBR is *NOT BOOTABLE* !
What failure message do you see under what Operating system?
You posted in an incorrect group.
Identify your operating system and post in that group.

Nothing! You need to provide a bootable partition incl. MBR!
Try "fixmbr" = check Windows HELP for your personal system!
Also FAT32 is no longer up to date for a current Windows system!
NTFS should be preferred.
WHAT OS are you using?
Linux requires other settings than Windows!

NO! Your name is obscure! Look into this NG for a response.

thanks
it is windows PC and in Norton editor I did fill out first partition
mbr entry ok based on 2d partition data but still not visible in dos
ok
(I do not need 1st partition to be bootable just acessible so I could
use undelete software, although I did try one program that tackles bad
partitions as well
but most of word documents it undeleted were full of garbage-
illegible!)

Did the Word documents have a valid signature, ie start 0xD0 0xCF. If
not, then you have hit the FAT32 cluster problem I highlighter
earlier. If the files start correctly, then you probably have a
fragmentation problem.

NO! You will only see data - but no chance to boot!

NO! You only provided access to a data partition w/o a BOOT chance!

Sorry, if You are not able to boot any system, then there is also NO
chance to control any data.
You just manipulate any disk data but besides any OS access.

Shure, You did access the data offsite any OS system!
As far as I understand Your problem: You accessed a disk besides using
any OS system FileSystem routines.
But the FS is related on any OS - so changing any values besides the OS
will never guarantee controlled access.
With Norton Disk Editor You may corrupt any system.
Come back to your previous used OS system and start again.
Otherwise you work on a byte basis which is very difficult to control.
