2tb Hard Disk - Partition With Data Disappeared From Computer

Jan 11, 2012

I have a 2TB hard drive which i have partitioned into 3 partitions, (249GB for C:, 1000GB for D: data, 613GB for E: data). Now the 1000GB partition which is filled with data has disappeared from My computer. It happened after installing a dual boot with linux and using the 613GB as unallocated space for the linux partitions, (I have since removed the linux and partitions on the E: 613GB and created a ntfs primary partition again).

I have uploaded a screenshot that you can see that partition is not in my computer and in Disk management it only shows by "Disk 0" and not under volumes. I have tried using 'Diskpart' To assign a drive letter but under 'list volume' nothing appears. I have also done a a partition details which shows no volume, dont know if I am able to merge the partition in anyway or if the partition table that needs to be fixed

Data Partition Disappeared

Aug 11, 2009

I have somewhat the same problem as this guy has:

http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-installation-upgrade/14819-c-drive-no-more-visible.html

I read that you guys might need the Diskmgmt information in his topic so here it is:

I had the RC which was dual-booting fine alongside XP. Then I got the RTM, burned it, booted up with it, deleted and formatted the partition on which 7 was (which was the C drive) and installed the RTM.

When I did this I noticed that the os selector had disappeared. So I installed EasyBCD to try to fix the boot-loader but I think I messed up in this stage.

Cause when I tried to boot in XP, I got the "Error loading operating system".

Tried some things to fix it, (which involved reinstalled 7 again just to boot up in it to try to fix the boot-loader), didn't work, gave up.

Put in the XP cd, deleted the XP and 7 partition, and created a new 100GB partition and installed XP on it. ( My 400GB Data partition was still visible and accessible in this stage).

Then I put in the 7 dvd, booted it up, created new 100GB partition out of the leftover unformatted space, and installed it.

No problems during installation, computer rebooted, I got the nice boot-loader screen with the "Earlier version of windows" and "Windows 7" option. Everything still ok, boot up Windows 7 and there I notice that my Third partition, with all my data had disappeared! =S

I'm thinking with is this, I reboot into XP, and there it has vanished as well! What should I do now? I want to get at-least the Data back, I don't care if I have to format my entire drive again and install XP and 7 all over.

Transferring Data From Old Computer Hard Drive?

Jun 30, 2012

I have a newer computer (HP Pavilion Slimline) with Windows 7 and 64bit system. My old hard drive is out of a dead (won't power up) HP Pavilion Slimline Vista 32bit. I pulled the old drive and connected it through a harness and the USB on the new computer. When I open the devices and printers program the old drive is there but when I open the icon all I get is the properties etc. but no way to access any data on the old drive. Do I need a program or is the drive dead? It powers and runs and when it is connected and I open the properties I'm told the old drive is working properly.

Windows 7 Ultimate X64 Will Not Mount Guid Partition Table Hard Disk

Sep 4, 2011

I have an external 3TB hard drive, USB. I used a mac to partition it, 2.25TB is HFS+ (Mac OS extended - journaled) and the other is 490gb NTFS (to use on windows). It would not give me the option to use MBR (master boot record) so i used the GUID table. It works fine on macs, but windows tells me i need to reformat it. It is my understanding that most all 64bit versions of windows can read/write a GUID disk. I do not need to boot off of the drive. this is another addition to the list of "why i hate windows"

Windows 7 On Startup After Trying To Partition Hard Disk With Spotmau 2009 Show?

Sep 8, 2011

i have brand a new Gateway NV50A with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I tried to partition the C Drive with 450GB to make another partition using Spotmau 2009. It displayed a window --that the system needs to restart for partioning. So I clicked on yes. After that it tried to restart and just stops on a blank Spotmau screen doing nothing(Spotmau Powersuite 2009 --Is a computer software used for partitioning and cloning). I tried to restart and bypass this window and start windows. But it doesn't work. I don't want to lose any data. I don't have a Windows 7 Installation CD.
