Stuck at pre-BIOS after resizing partition

[kingviking]

What about Device Manager?

I'd be shocked if it did, given what happened. Like I said, the MBR is likely hosed.

First, look at what it shows in Disk Management (but don't do anything, and if it asks you to initialize the disk, cancel) to get an overview of just how badly mangled things are.

And then you'll need to use low-level data recovery software (sorry, I don't have any to recommend, since I haven't been down this road before) to try to scrape together what bits you can.

i would suggest a program called test disk for some of your data recovery.

hi friends ,,

after a long effort i am still unable to recover data or my hard drive ...

i had connected it to multiple computer as slave drive..but when it is connected to any computer as slave ..the computer stops loadind operating system and they also hangs at pre bios screen

i had also tried to connect it as a external usb drive ..after purchasing a usb casing for hard drives ..and it also fails ...

my hard drive spin normally ...no glitching sounds ....and when i connect it to a Pc as master drive it boots up till windows logo...and then nothing

i had tried ...
1. made a bootable usb of windows and tried to recover it that failed
2. tried to connect it as slave to different pc that also failed
3. tried to connect it as a usb drive by using usb casing for hard drive
that also failed ...

only thing it does is when i connect it as master drive to any pc (not in my laptop) it boots till windows logo and then nothing
guys ...what are the options i have to recover that hard disk.without calling in professionals.....

when the computer boots up press F8 for safe mode.

TestDisk is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

TestDisk can

Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
Fix FAT tables
Rebuild NTFS boot sector
Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
Fix MFT using MFT mirror
Locate ext2/ext3/ext4 Backup SuperBlock
Undelete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem
Copy files from deleted FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions.

TestDisk can run under

DOS (either real or in a Windows 9x DOS-box),
Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, Windows 7 (x86 & x64),
Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
SunOS and
MacOS X


In your case it may be worth a shot to try it.

I would wait for the OS to load and then connect the disk to the cables. There is a risk of loosing your disk like this, but you will have an OS to work with if succesfull.

i connected it to a working os as usb drive ...but it doent shows up there ..not in explorer ..device manager...

when i use a bootable usb ...and let the os files load then connected the drive to laptop but then also the drive doesnot shows up....:'(
the only good thing happening is when i connect it to any pc(not my laptop) as master drive it boots up till the win8 logo and then it stucks there......

http://www.aomeitech.com/aomei-partition-assistant.html might help. I've not used it enough to know all its capabilities. Without knowing just what you had on those partitions before and how the file system was set up...

I'm thinking you have efi boot systems with GPT discs. Merging the two partitions probably messed up the boot section of the drive. There is a drive conversion process inside that program which causes no data loss (normally). It just might be of help.

Anyway, check out the features in that program and see if there's something there to help you.
