Alright, I was trying to merge two partitions together. Unfortunately it hit a bad sector and the process got screwed up. I tried doing it with partition magic, and it supposedly has a recovery feature. It seems to have made a backup copy of the partition, or atleast its structure. I can see the partition in a partition viewer. It's partition #5 which is odd, and it is labeled PQMagic Backup.
When I start partition magic recovery disks it says "Searching for recovery markers . . . Please wait . . ." and then just freezes.
Unfortunately I made no backups before attempting this process. Its not on a computer that I care much about. I could reformat, but if at all possible i'd like to try not to.
I had two partitions, c: and e:, windows was on e: and so was most of my information. So I reformatted the c: partition and loaded XP back on to it. I can get in to XP but the e: drive won't show since its corrupted.
Any way of getting it back? Thanks guys!
