ok I so decide to redo my c partiton on 1 of my 2 150 harddrives

well fast forward 2 hours

and im all updated but for some reason XP looked at my OTHER 150 GIG disc (that had been already formatted prior to my os reinstall and had ALOT OF SHIT on it) and unpartioned the whole fucking thing.....



......



...

I hate XP.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

i mean i realize that xp cant see a hd over 137 or some fuckign gig before sp1/2 but i figured once I got 2 you know....the HD I DIDNT TELL XP TOOO FUCKING TOUCH would say hey we are already formated WITH FILES ON OUR FUCKING DRIVE


but nope, all my receipts, backups, MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gone

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

so is there like anyway to unfuck this drive?



i didnt know I have to physically remove all my harddrives when I redo an installation (even if its on A TOTALLY OTHER FUCKING DRIVE, so XP doesnt go and UNPARTITION EVERYTHING FUCKING god someone is getting shot today.

Uhhh... yeah, did you try installing SP2 and seeing if it just returns to normal. If not, I've no idea.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

yeah I have that

it says 142.9 (or whatever) unpartioned space



thats when I fucking went apeshit


oh well all my music is backed up on my mp3 player but still I had product keys, my online receipts (print them into pdfs) and all that shit thats gone now....


fucking bullshit.........

 

[Drozmight]

If you wanted to, I know there are places out there where you can send your HD for data recovery. Or maybe you can copy the raw data on to your other HD, and find a program out there that will let you access your files. (maybe)

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

well Im using this prog from binary biz.com and it see all the files (like my hd wasnt ever touched) but they want 100 bucks for 1 gig and Im not spending a dime.


fuckit



this wasnt a hardware crash or a virus or anything I DIDNT TELL WINDOWS TO FUCKING TOUCH THE MOTHERFUCKER.....................



im seething ..............................fuck it jus fuckti 1

1) Calm down before you break something else. Yes, it's a Windows glitch, but you should have disconnected that drive before reinstalling anyway.
2) Check http://www.experts-exchange.com/Storage/Q_20699737.html - the post marked "accepted answer". Bookmark that site, it's very handy in general.
3) Try Partition Magic. It can be flakey though.
4) If all else fails, start over.

Entirely.

Considering the amount of drivel on the OT board, I have to wonder why you picked on my cliche abuse when there are so many other, worse violators around here.
