Hello,
My C:/ drive had little space so I decided to use this software called "easeus partition manager" to resize, to take some space from my F:/ drive and use that on C:/ drive to make it bigger, in other words I tried to resize C:/ well I guess I tried but got many errors and I know this is real stupid, but I guess I pressed something and now my F:/ drive wont show in "My Computer" but it is identified by the stupid software that did'nt work and was just a wast of time, I pressed resize and followed the instructions well, but there was some error until I clicked that button, I tried "partition table doctor" too wont work, I dont want to loose data on the partition
Thanks, Jeremy
Testdisk can recover "lost partitions" as long as the damage is not to severe.
Also Testdisk has a addon called "photorec" that can recover data even from a corrupted drive. More than likely most of the data is recoverable.
This happened to me before with partitionmagic, it frozed while enlarging my c: drive and I turned it off, this caused permanent lost of my c: drive. Before I didn't know about testdisk and I reformatted.
Partition manipulation is always a risk whether thru an error message that comes up & you continue anyway or to power outage or any other type of issue,the first rule of thumb is backup the data which you should have a copy of anyway since a hdd can fail at anytime.
The next rule to resize a partition when another resides beside it is to again save the data of the partition you want to take space from,then delete that partition resize C then create a new extended partition not only will it avoid the issue you encountered it also takes less time as the data would have to be moved forward to create free space behind it & as you can appreciate that can take a while if there's lots of it,it can take even longer if you attempted to do more than 1 manipulation at 1 time like shorten F then extending C which is never a good thing especially since C was involved as well.
copy everything on to another drive.. wipe the old one.. overwrite with 00 clusters.. then repartition from scratch.
never seen any repartitioning/resizing thing which is safe when there is data still on the drive.. regardless of any crap anybody else says.. the risk of data corruption is too great.
Hey Thanks a bunch now my D: and E: partitions are busted too, look I need help, please I need my partitions back can someone help I used testdisck and now this happens after I reboot, what do you reckon I do?
