HELP! I screwed something up

[Tiamat]

Im not sure what to say now. If the harddrive broke, it wouldnt work period. When you have xxxxGB unallocated, that means that either its brand new, or the partitions were deleted. I dont know if static shock and just delete the partition without damaging the drive.

I don't know, I don't think there was any static shock. Who knows. Thanks for your help, looks like I have some formating and downloading to do.

yeah, sorry it ended like that. Im in the very slow process of backing up 300GB to DVD. Its not fun, but after what happened to you, I think i will make the time to finish burning all the DVDs i have to.

GOod luck!

For the guys that tried to helped me I wanted to say thanks. I got all my information back. After trying recovery programs left and right someone suggested Partition Magic. So I installed it, selected the drive that "had" all my important info on it, clicked on undelete partition and within a few mins my drive was back to normal. I can't tell you how releived I was when I saw all 150gb of info. So thanks for the guys that helped out.

Either:

1. You need to format the new hard drive in Disk Management.
or
2. Your secondary drive isn't setup as a slave. If the secondary jumper settings are set to master it wouldn't show up since there is already a master. You may need to change your jumper (usually there's a little diagram on the actual drive to tell you where to put the jumper to make it a slave)

Edit: A Warning: Do NOT change the drive letter of your drive that the OS is installed on. It can really destroy your OS.

exorr you cant change the drive letter of the system partition
