going to take a quick shower and wait to see if i should 'create a new partition'

Jim,

You see that 290GB unallocated drive?

Right-click and assign it a drive letter, then run CHKDSK on it.

lumberjim · 02-28-2010, 03:32 PM

didnt try to boot it yet

right click unallocated drive gets me: properties, create new partition, and help

mbpark · 02-28-2010, 03:44 PM

Lumberjim,

Don't create a new partition. See if you can use one of the partition repair tools to recover yours!

Creating a new partition = BAD. You probably need to fix the partition entry.

lumberjim · 02-28-2010, 03:52 PM

partition tool choices:

bootbuild

easus partition manager
mbr fix
mbr wizard
photo rec
test disk

mbpark · 02-28-2010, 03:57 PM

Let's try Easeus PM and see what it finds.

lumberjim · 02-28-2010, 04:02 PM
