Drive is no longer accessible! Help!

[toonarific]

I had to reformat a couple of my partitions on my server, as well as reinstall the OS. I left most of the data I needed on a seperate partition that was working fine, but now that everything is redone on the ther drives, the drive I have with all my data is not recognized. Im using Win 2000 Server as my OS, and in the Disk Management console, the partition says Unallocated. How can I have my computer recognize this drive and data? The last thing I would want to do is have to wipe it clean and reformat it. All help is greatly appreciated

You will need to use a data recovery software more than likely. What are you doing when it says, "Unallocated"?

Are you booting to it? Do you have it slaved to another drive? When do you get this?

I know of a software that I recovered everything on mine when it said the drive wasn't formatted. It was only $80 and the trial version can be used to recover word documents and such without buying it.
