Hi Guys,
I have a serious problem. I had a windows XP crash on my Girfriends Pc and the system did not wanted to boot up in any way. I thought I will re install the windows but first to save the files I took out the HDD and put it into my PC
When I copied over all files I saw I had 1 partition only.
When I installed the Windows I have deleted the old partition and created a new one and proceeded with the install.
Once finished I have copied back here data, about 30GB and when I asked her to use her PC she asked me where are the other 2 drive she used to have?
Then I realized, when I saved down her files there were no other drive letters, so the partition table might have been damaged, and I could save only 1 of the 3 partitions. (I did not remembered that she had 3 partitions on 1 HDD)
So the facts, I have lost two partitions around 30 GB of family photos, videos, and many unreplaceable stuff like documents for her University studies and so on.
IS there a way, to restore that previous setup with all 3 partitions?
I tried "getdataback" and another recovery tool but they seem to find only the current files. So nothing at all. Could it be that 30GB file I copied back messed up everyrhing?
Sorry for the long story but I need to know if there is a way to fix this.
Thank you
