HEY, sorry for digging up an old thread, but its for the greater good
I had the same problem and i googled millions of forums none with solutions and this is one of those threads i looked at which didn't have a solution, so i figure other googlers might also dig up this thread when they have the same problem.
short story:
resizing partitions using PQ Partition Magic 8.0
Lighting hits
reset computer lost access to partition
Partition magic desplays drive as a Pqrp partition and i have lost me stuff.
Solution.... (dunno if u need the first step but in my blundering blind experimentation in order to discover the solution this is what i did)
1. I went to dos and loaded PTedit (powerquest PM Dos folder)
- changed the crashed partition to Fat32 file system again (the original file system that it was
-reset
2. Important step: used "GETDATABACK 2.31" to search disk for fat32 file system and recovered to my spare HDD. YAY...
If you can't get getdataback, then you might have some luck with

I hope this helps someone
