O Crap! Is this fixable? I was installing XP with 2 HD's and accidentally deleted the 2nd disks partiions..

I had a second hard drive that I had data on, so when I placed the new one in as master and stuck the old one in as slave, xp install booted up, and asked about where to install it, partitioning..etc...

I HAD A BRAIN FART and deleted all the partitions...

I realzied what I did, shut off the pc, and came here for answers..

HOW CAN I GET MY DATA BACK FROM THE PARTITIONS I WAXED?

is it possible?

any software out there?

well, if the xp install didnt start installing any files (IE. you didnt format the drive, only deleted the partitions), I don't believe that the install makes any changes.

I believe you have to actually format the drive before the partitions will be deleted. I could be wrong though.

If the partitions were deleted, there is software that can undelete partitions. Just search for partition undelete in google.

If you didn't have any data on the second drive, you can use Partition Magic to setup your drive, again. You should be able to do it with XP's regular XP drive setup, too.
