I have 2 hard drives:80G and 120G(2 partitions).Windows XP is on 80G,yestoday I reinstalled windows,when I login to windows,I found 2 partitions on 120G were gone.Then I clicked control panel-administative tools-computer management-disk management,on the 120G drive,it says unlocated(something like that).
How could this happen?
And how do I recover the lost partitions?There are too much data on there.I can't loose them.
Sorry about my bad English.I am still learning it.
thanks

Install XP SP2, you should see your partitions again, unless you deleted them, in wicht case you need "Partition Recover" or "Unerase"

I have just been doing Reviews on several wellknown Partitioning programs ect as well as get Data back...Be very careful what you do because you can lose everything...Here is something to look at if you don't come right...

These are free:

The partition recoveries I've been working with some are freeware some are Shareware...Hope this helps...If not I will try to help you further...

I got my partitions back in DOS with Diskgen.It is a very small tool,only 130k,but works like charm.
Just let you guys know.Thanks again.
