The mother board of an old PC died. The partitioned hard drive was still okay. The hard drive had a "C: Windows" and a "D: Data" partition. I hooked it into a new PC and only the D: part shows up. I looked in Diskmgmt. It is also not there. I even hooked it direct into the SATA connection of the main drive and the other partition still does not show.
Lost partition on a hard drive.

The disk in question is "Data (I
" on Disk (Datenträger) 3. I dropped a new screenshot.https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cr4wm17vvt4bc44/AAB4AWAT7WhnaZWCxw9_A64Za?dl=0
3TB HDD, with 1 partition, currently 70% full. And the partition labeled "Data".
Still not seeing any remnants of an original C partition.
Thanks for the idea, but the drive does not show up at all anywhere including "diskmgmt". I assigned the one part of the partition that I can see another letter to see if that would cause the PC to see the other, but nothing happened. I ran "AOMEI Partition Assistant" "Partition Recovery" and it also did not find anything. I am beginning to think I am going crazy. I even opened up the broken PC again to see if there is another drive in there somewhere. There is not.
The former "D" drive does not have a windows folder. That was on the former "C". The drive is a "Seagate Barracuda 3000GB SATA". Explorer says 2.72 GB capacity with 1.91 full for the "I" drive (former D). I have looked in all the folders to see if the "old C drive" is hidden somewhere, but to no avail. The old "C" partition was much smaller than the "D". I do not remember how big it was, but somewhere between 100 and 500 GB. Thanks for the continued ideas!

On that Disk 1, I'm not seeing any lost space or partitions.
917.67GB in the D partition
13.85GB in the E partition
= 931GB. Exactly as it should be for a 1TB drive.
Methinks your C partition in that old system was somewhere else.
