Hello tech forums,
I have been having some problems with my partitions on my 2 hard drives for a while now. I downloaded/installed Partition Magic onto my computer, and somehow, it messed up during the process of doing its thing, and now I can only use 20GB on one of my hard drives, and 80 on the other. The one with 20GB has all of my Windows information stored on it, so I really do not want to mess with that, but is there any way to get back the other hard drives partitions?
I was told that MBR might work, but is there any other way to recover those missing areas? How does MBR work? Anything I would have to worry about?
I was also told that if I format my hard drives, that could also fix it, but I kind of do not want to do this, only as a last resort.
Any ideas?
PLEASE HELP!!!

Here is the immage shack picture of my Comp Mangement, which Mac213 asked for in the above forum post.
Just a note, I do not need to recover any old data, just want to open up the space to download more things!
