Partition or file recovery

Okay, Mr. Proffitt. I have a similar issue, My ultimate question is, try to recover files first and with recuva or testdisk or ?, or try to repair or fix or create the lost partition or mbr or what first ?
Years ago on WIN98SE, I got a virus, I had AVG I had created a recovery disk or something with AVG, on a floppy, I ran it and it removed what it found. The drive boots to C where the OS is, but the partition was not seen, I think (long time and bad memory) I tried to run Windows floppy DOS mode trying to see the parition or create a new one, I wasn't sure what to do in there so I don't remember doing anything. I then just got a new drive, so now I have one of those Hard drive to usb adapters, all I want are the files...don't care about the partition per say.

The first step is always

1. Clone the drive.

But since files are in partitions, you have no choice today on what to do first.

2. Now that we have a clone of the drive we can try the usual titles on the clone.

3. No one usually guesses which method will work. We have tools and apps that work pretty well but more folk forget step 1. Some folk are too new at this and don't know that without a partition we can't have a filesystem and files to recover. Those that are that new to recovery and won't take step 1 should send the drive to http://www.drivesavers.com
