[Solved] Missing HDD Partition by Ahmad on 07-27-2005 at 07:22 AM

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.

i dont suggest Partition Magic if you know nothing bout partitioning, , from what iv'e read lots of people have ruined there partitions up by not knowing how to really use  Partition magic Properly

Ok I have partition magic, I combined both partition but as before it's only saying 131gb, i've lost that extra 60 or so gb and it's not even showing it...  attached picture below.

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.
