Hello,
i was reinstalling xp on a internal drive. i forgot my external usb hard drive, [with 5 partitions],was still plugged in to the pc,when making the new xp partitions again.at that time i noticed i deleted something from old partition list in wdos partitioner while repartitioning new partitions: yes it was the partitions from external drive but only showed in the partitioner only one line for all external hard drive partitions.now in explorer h drive says:eek:nly format entire external drive,doesn`t show partions anywhere else either. so can i get partitions back,with all my data,by reversing and bringing data back to my external drive with the 5 partitions on the external drive.drive is not yet formatted .
