well last week I adjusted (resized) partitions of my external harddisk by gparted. during the processing, the damn gnome3 crashed. I cannot see the partition any more.

I have still one windows machine(winxp), and tried finalData2.0. after about 30 hours scan/recovering, my 120G data in that partition were back. only 2-3 files lost.
hope this experience is useful 4 u. btw, I didn't write any data to that disk after the problem happened.
