Partition Magic Crash

[obeseotron]

I was deleting a Linux partition and expanding the NTFS partition to take up the whole disk using partition magic. It crashed after deleting the Linux parition but only 61% through expanding the NTFS. On restart the Partition Magic script tried to run again, but couldn't find the disk, Windows doesn't see it and Partition Magic reports it as a PQrP partion, whatever that is. Any way to recover my data?

This happened to me once and I wasn't ever able to recover anything. There is a program called Zero Assumption Recover (and a few others that you might want to try) that might be able to pull some of your data off. It takes a long time to analyze the drive so it's only worth it if you absolutely need some files. Especially because you're not guaranteed to get anything back.

There are programs out there that have a good chance of recovering some or all of your data. Try googling your problem...

Thanks, I found a shareware program that is going to do the trick.

Thank God I use Partition Commander 9.0 by Vcom. Much more stable.

I am almost sure this problem is related to a crappy SATA controller and not Partition Magic. I've had problems with several drives on it.
