at a command prompt type man testdisk
ran testdisk, but i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be doing in there.
proceed on Disk /dev/hda - 80GB / 74 GiB
proceed on Intel - Intel/PC partition
proceed on Analyse
then there are several partions: P Dell Utility (which says invalid ntfs boot below it); HPFS - NTFS (which is listed 2 times); P CP/M
what do i do in here?
thanks,
matt

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

lol, i guess i am becoming a bit dependent, i'll give it a try and report back
i don't know which of the choices i'm supposed to go into: dell utility, linux, or fat32 lba
I'm not sure that I understand the question, but you don't want the Dell recovery partitions, you have already said that you can see hda1 and hda3 and that your files are not there and they seem from what you posted to be Dell recovery partition. And you certainly don't want a Linux partition. You want hda2, which should be a NTFS partition. But, as said before, windows may have destroyed this beyond the ability of Knoppix to recover.
