Hey guys!

What can I say, the end of the year is not my time. First I was sick now I have had a major comp melt down. Here is what happened:

Ran Partition Magic 8.0 to resize my Drive C. I have three partitions on my Disk 1 - C (Windows XP), E(Data, logical) and G (Windows 64) - and suddenly the operation quit and now I can't see my E partition. It is still there, the data is there (very, very, very important data) and yet only Partition Magic sees it, but Windows does not. Help!

I have a feeling it is the drive letters that got messed up but who knows. I looked on the web and nada. Anyone know how I can fix this? I am tearing my hair out, not to mention my comp works oh about 1/3 totally. Thanks.

Maybe the partition is hidden or not active. Try playing around with that a bit in Partition Magic.

Yes, that is precisely what happened! I went crazy last night, I had no idea PM could do such a thing, I never had issues before and their tech support is worth well nothing. Anyway, as you said it was hidden or rather it lost it's lable. I fixed it from within Windows, not PM (but at least I knew it was there and not totally lost thanks to it) - and of course it was the easiest and stupidest route that I didn't think would work. Guh. But I have it back. Thanks! Talk about a panic attack!

You're welcome I know the feeling. I often have it myself like last Sunday when I demonstrated a friend how to overclock his computer. After changing the settings in the BIOS, it wouldn't start :speech: But luckily it did after a reset. I was fearing I'd have to reset the BIOS via the hardware
