Default ugh ... I hate computers

so I lost 60 gigs of data. yep. I was setting up my new file/dhcp server on dual pentium 3 EB coppermine box with Server 2003, and in the process of moving the drive into one of my hot swap bays, I must have bumped it too hard because the partition table was gone.

I downloaded a utility called Get Data Back, and I saw it getting back some of the files, but it went VERY slowly. I started last night, and it shouldve finished up when I was coming to work this morning. Anyone have any experience with this program?

yeah i just used getdataback couple days ago. my c: partition stopped working. the program took about 40 minutes total to recover my files and back them up onto another drive. my partition was only 15 gb.
