I had a 40 GB Drive and 2 partitions one for LInux and one for WIndows XP. When I had problems with Xp I put anpther HD (20GB) and from there I selected to foramat the other drive. I don't know how but usualy windows can't see my linux partition, thistime it formated it so that i would have a 40 gb drive. I don't know how since i had two partitions. I did format it as FAT but showed an error after copleting it and then I did the same with a quick NTFS format that fook me like 2 seconds. after that I had an ampty 37gb drive. I had about 15 GB on the lInux partition. I disconnected the HD after that so that nothing else would be changed. WHat can be done to restore the linux partition?
