Since I can't see the other thread, I'm just going to go out on a limb and tell you to freeze your HD

 

[ElFenix]

try the freezer trick?

Just curious...in your other thread you said it's a 120GB drive - it wouldn't happen to be a Western Digital, would it? I have a WD 120GB drive (about a year old) that's starting to give me problems...every so often it makes a loud "click" and my computer completely freezes up (a reboot fixes it), and I just started getting BSODs on startup (in Win2k) - I had to try four times to get it to boot without BSODing tonight...:|

Uh, what do you mean by "I accidentally deleted it."

BTW, is it possible to be OT in ATOT?

I replied in the other thread.

has nothing to do with it. THe drive is phsically fine.

I was using "dynamic" disks, and the entire disk got deleted. The problem is that the only article I can find from microsoft tells me this

To Recover a Deleted NTFS Volume
Re-create the exact same volume but choose not to format it. This may be difficult if you do not remember the exact size you had created originally, especially because the Disk Management snap-in tends to round partition sizes.
Using Dskprobe.exe, recover the backup boot sector for the NTFS volume from the end of the volume. Because it is a dynamic volume you may need to use Dmdiag.exe to help find the backup boot sector, or search for it by using Dskprobe.exe (on the Tools menu, click Search Sectors).
After rewriting the NTFS boot sector, quit Dskprobe.
In Disk Management, click Rescan Disks on the Action menu. This should mount the volume for immediate use.

The problem is that on my 120GB drive I had a 10GB volume and a 11GB volume, obviously not just one volume.

Like I said in the other thread, I am using getdataback and it seems to be finding "something" but it still says 1:15min left, and I have to get some stuff off of it.

Yepp. I hate these POS. Never anything but problems.

My dad is lucky...Only Maxtor in the house

Weird, I get "Don't have permissions to access that object when I click on that link with Firefox." So let me get this straight, you deleted your partition and now you want your files back?

No, the problem is being on topic in off topic.

OMG...GETDATABACK IS WORKING.....16% of my music recovered :evil:

I honestly didn;t think it would read dynamic disk volumes....
