I've used PartitionMagic with no problems before.

But I, too, just had a drive go bad. ~30GB, of which only ~20 was backed up at the time. Rawr!
 
If nothing else, this thread should serve as a reminder to backup your important porn, games, mp3's, and files (in that order) at least once a week. I lost 10 gigs once, can't imagine losing 30+g. Sorry man.

 
I lost about 33 gigs when I wrote zeros and ones to a brand new WD 160 gig drive that was a second drive to two WD 80 gig RAID drives. At first I had 149 gigs C and 149 gigsD, but now can't get D to reformat or repartition above 127 gigs. I set up the 160 on an ide ribbon connected to ide and formatted it using the WD setup disk for new drives and it showed 149 gigs when I switched over to drive 3 on RAID. I wiped the partition by mistake and could never restore one larger than 127 gigs.

"Larry H Parker got my 40GB back!"


Sorry thats the first impression I got from the title and the post. 😛

I've used Partition Magic 7.0 with Win98, Win2K and WinXP before with no problems.
 
I hate to say "I told you so" (cause I didn't)...

But if you can't stand to lose it, BACK IT UP!!!

😀
