hi all.
can someone please help me recover my data.
i have a 40Gb hdd split into 3 partitions. C (ntfs, 10G) for system files, prgm files and D and E (both fat32, both 15G) for data and docs. since my C drive was less than half full, i used Partition Magic 8 to free up some space and gave it to E drive. i used the resize partition wizard to do this. (1st time using PM).
now its done, all 3 partition sizes are what they're supposed to be but only my C drive is working. whenever i try to open D or E in explorer, it says "the disk is not formatted. do you want to format now?". when i click properties of D and E, both show file system as RAW and used space and free space as 0 bytes. the pie chart is all blue. when i go to the disk management utility it shows free space as 100% for both these drives. previously my free space was 17% for D and 16% for E.
i opened up PM again and its shows everything as normal. the correct partition sizes after the resize process, the correct size of used space and free space on all 3 partitions. so i assume that all my data are still there. just somehow windows can't read it.
can anyone help me out here please? lost of data and documents involved.
thank you very much..
p.s: win xp sp2, 256mb ram.
