My wifes Windows XP Home edition has crashed or been hacked. She was using a bit torrent program called usenext for approximately a week. Then her system completely stopped working. I tried to mount the HDD, but I get

Disk /dev/hdd doesn't contain a valid partition table

It appears the XP HDD 200.0 GB no longer contains a valid partition table. Any help on recovering her files would be appreciated. Thanks!
