I accidentally deleted a drive (E) on an HP tablet with XP tablet PC edition installed on it. Now none of the USB ports work. I can't install anything to help create a new partition because the tablet has no CD ROM and has no internet connection. The only way to get anything onto it was through the USB.
In the computer management and diskpart all I can see are Disk 0 in the disk view and (C) and HP Recovery (D) in the volume view. From what I've learned in my net search there should've been a Disk 1 in the diskpart if there was any USB drive. In the disk management there's no option to right click on an unallocated region to create a partition. I used the HP recovery and it reinstalled the programs but not the deleted drive. When I plug a device into a USB port it behaves as it normally would if it's being read but nothing appears in the My Computer. So, is there any way to create a partition to get the USB back to working? It's an old tablet and not very critical I just wanted to see if it was possible.
