I have a 500GiB hard drive that apparently lost one of its partitions. When I look at it using Paragon Partition Manager, it shows it as free space.
The user was trying to resize the Win7 partition with Paragon Partition Manager to make room for Ubuntu 9.10, it told her that it could not run in an x64 environment and to boot to the CD to resize the partition. When she booted to the CD, she says it only showed the 100MiB partition, and the rest showed as free space.
Is there any way to rebuild the partition table so I can access the data and at least pull her data off before I toss the hard drive? I'm concerned that if I just create a new partition it will wipe what's there, I'd like to be able to recover the data if at all possible.
Thanks!
