   The Sharp laptop PC-GP2520 running XP Pro on a toshiba MK6021GAS 60GB hard   
   drive took a nosedive a couple of days ago.  I have tried to recover the two   
   partitions with an assortment of recovery software, some apps see the drive   
   others will not.  The listed fault as shown by Spinrite, is that the bios   
   extension shows the drive to be smaller than the partition.   
   Windows XP setup gets as far as allowing me to select or delete the   
   partitions but stops me from deleting them. (rambles on about the partition   
   contains system files) Incidentally the partitions have a colon in front but   
   no drive letter. Fdisk will not allow deleting either, so I am stuck.   
      
   Has anyone got any thoughts on the subject.   
      
   Many thanks in anticipation
