You can use several tools in linux to extract the data if you know what
you are looking for... something like foremost (a forensic analysis
tool) and possibly the sleuthkit and Autopsy might be able to help for
free. Do you remember excatly how the partition table was laid out
before? Have you formatted it since the table was lost? If you remember
the partition table layout and you have not formatted the drive it
could be as simple as using fdisk in linux to re-create the partitions
and then mounting the disk (I have seen this done several times with
fat32 drives, never tried it with an NTFS partition). If the latter
does not work and you know exactly what you are looking for your best
bet may be a commercial tool (I think symantec makes one) or the
earlier mentioned foremost.

I hate to start another message on this but I have a 60 gig harddrive
and the partition table is lost. I need the data off from it. I don't
know what to do the drive is formated in the ntfs file system with no
encryption. I tried using qtparted to write a new partition table but
it didn't work. I don't know what eles to do.

It's a good thing Linux is under GPL (General Public Lisense) or Microsoft would buy opensouce projects out too!
