O.P. Undecided  [Solved] Missing HDD Partition
I have a 200gb partitioned into 3 partitions.

C: 15gb
D:113gb
E: 58gb

I originally wanted only 2 partitions, but D: and E: would not join together for some reason. So booting from the WinXP cd, I removed the E: partition in hope to combine the two. Once I removed the 58gb E: partition, it did not go into "unpartitioned space" but rather disappeared completely.

Now I can't find that space anymore, not by booting with the WinXP cd, nor by entering Disk Management within Windows.

Any Ideas??

Edit: I have used FDISK to recover the partition.

You thought right, so what's that got to do with me? If you couldn't find anything constructive to say about the topic then you probably shouldn't post.
