running xp, during a resize of two partitions, it just froze. =/
was done resizing the first partition and it froze while moving data and resizing the second.

rebooted, now i have 1 partition that doesn't show up in windows.

in partition magic, all other partitions are fine and show up as ntfs, while the screwed up partition shows up as PqRP.

searched thru their help file and this is the only thing i found on it.

"PqRP Partitions

If your computer fails during a PartitionMagic operation, you may see a partition that displays as PqRP or PQFLEX in the partition list in the main screen. PartitionMagic flags a partition with a PqRP file system and a PQFLEX label, so you know that the partition has been modified. You should assume that a PqRP partition is not stable. Contact PowerQuest technical support for help in recovering data from a PqRP partition.

well, that'll be my last resort if you guys can't think of anything.

thanks for any help,
dc

I would call PowerQuest. I don't think you will find a more competent source of help for one of their products. Hope you had all your data backed up before all this.:D
