Here is goes. I have three WD hard drives on my machine. An 80gig (system) a 120gig and a 200gig. I reinstalled XP and it changed the partitions on the other drives (I think). XP can no longer read the drives (asks to be reformated). I have tried Disk Doctor and even Partition magic (I used this to partition the drives). Disk Doctor found no partitions, partition magic says it is one big partition and doesn’t give me any options for rebuild or the such, BUT when I load my GHOST start-up disk, I can see both partitions on my 120gig drive!! That gives me hope at least. How can I get this information? If there a way to rebuild these partitions? Local store wants $500.00 to fix. Please help.
thanks
