partition dissappeared

Hello,

My friend had trouble loading Windows and decided to do a repair install, everything seems to be ok with the exception that drive D: dissappeared. It does not show in "My Computer" neither in disk Disk managment, any help to at least recover lost space if not the data, regards,

mario

 

no no it just dissappeared, all other partitions (3) are all the same size as they where before with all date intact except the D: partition and the problem is that the Program Files folder was on this partition and would be more then happy to get it back and avoid reinstalling all my existing software.

 

Partition Disappeared

Hi,
have you look carefully if partition drive letter is been changed !
is it a dynamic disk partition ?
have you look Event viewer for more ? is their any suspicious ?
its strange in my #yrs of exp i never see this type of problem !



Regards

 

I managed to solve the problem. Since this computer is not mine I assumed he had one partitioned harddrive but this was not the case, the partition D: was a seperate physical harddrive which accidently had its IDE cable disconnected, thank you all for your time, best regards,
