| 485966 | 2006-09-20 20:44:00 | Windows 2k I was using the computer management console and clicked on a partition to make it active, and it changed to saying active, but the 3 partitions next to it suddenly turned into a big lump of free space, no warnings nothing (odd for mS) Since this happened I havent touched anything to do with drive management or the effected drives (this was on my second hard drive) Help because i have around 60Gb of data on those partitions Cheers |

| 485968 | 2006-09-20 21:44:00 | if the data is critical dont do anything more to that disk, contact a data recovery company if not so critical try a linux live distro see if the data is intact |

| 485971 | 2006-09-21 03:15:00 | At this rate you'll soon get yourself a whole new drive. Maybe even a sparkly new graphics card thrown in! :D | Greg (193) | ||
| 485972 | 2006-09-21 05:25:00 | And the successer to Vista! | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 485973 | 2006-09-21 11:09:00 | Hmmm a new graphics card would be a handy find, as well as some more ram and DVD drive and a new house and car, but well all i've got is 7Gbs strange but true I have a feeling it may have been a QNX partition that got wiped, but thats no great loss |
