  1. My HDD partition dissappeared


    I had 4 partitions in my 500gb hdd C, D, E, F

    So I thought it would be a good idea to merge D and E So i used partition wizard to do this

    But after Merging them both D and E dissappeared from file manager and only drive C and F are showing

    but In partition wizard all the drives are showing and the merging of E and D was successful

    Why is this happening and how to make all drives show up in File Explorer again

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

  3. Unresponsive HDD Partition.

    I somehow managed to format the partition & its now unallocated space. Now, I cant create a new partition neither I can allocated that free space to other Partition. Can you suggest a way to repair that space in HDD?

    -Thanks

    My HDD partition dissappeared

    Lost Partitions on HDD with HDD regenerator

    Hey! thanks for the response!, i tried running Sea Tools and i have interesting results,

    SMART Test - PASS

    But the most interesting part is that, i have a "mount" program in Sea tools, so when i mount sda2, sda3,sda4
    then when i go to /mnt/sda2, /mnt/sda3 and /mnt/sda4, i can see all of my data there!! all the files, all the folders, just as they were..

    I can even read the contents of text files (using cat command).. so it seems my data + paritions are there but then why am i facing this terrible issue ? *Sad(

    also regarding backups, i am sorry i have none *Sad, actually this 2tb hdd was itself my storehouse.. rip (i hope not)

    Mount tool:

    So DISKPART can show all my partitions and volumes properly
    and in Seatools , i can mount all partitions and List and read all my files and folders without any issues..
    so what should be my next step :/ i don't wanna mess this up
