Bad problem - I've just had to install a new hard drive into my computer I loaded XP Pro and all was good. I then did a few changes here and there and rebooted. However on this machine I have a second drive that has no operating system and is used just for file back up. When I rebooted I did not have the power lead connected to the hard drive with os (XP Pro) on so it did not boot. I then foolishly decided that I needed to reinstall xp so I booted from cd and deleted the partition on my back up drive by mistake. ;(
Now that I have connected both drives and reboot I can not see my back up drive via windows ;(
Any ideas how I can get my data back or repair the deleted partition? The data that I have on the drive is very important to me so any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Cheers,
Steve.
P.S. I've been told to run fdisk? Would this be right - I really don't want to funk this one up as there is loads of work that I need on the drive.
I don't know what size the partition was and in honesty don't know it was even partitioned untill i deleted it!
