I recently had way too much clutter and random crashing on my computer so I decided it was time to reformat the drive and try a fresh installation since it's been a couple years.
I keep all my data on a separate internal SATA drive which consists of two partitions. It got created a long time ago, I believe with GParted in order to dual boot. I don't dual boot anymore and I believe the boot setup has since been deleted since I don't get prompted normally.
When installing Vista Home Prem SP2 everything went as expected. The two partitions were shown. Once I get in to the new OS my partition that was listed as "primary" during the windows setup is inaccessible. It is showing as empty and described as "raw" in disk management. Windows isn't reading any data and would like me to reformat it. I was careful not to delete the partition during setup. The other partition on that same HD is working. Is there some way to have windows recognize this ntfs partition that should still exist? Do I need a partition recovery software? Thank You
