I bought a bigger hard drive and wanted to make it C, and make the old C to
D. I also wanted a fresh XP pro install, so I just moved jumpers and did a
fresh install on the new C.
Now, when I run XP, there is no D in My Computer. I checked at the BIOS
level, and it all shows fine. So I tried taking the new C out, changing
jumpers, and putting things back the way they were (that is making D back
into C). It wouldn't boot, said I was missing a file. I tried to use the XP
setup disk to fix the problem, but it looks like the partition is gone! Is
there a way to recover the data (I just want Favorites, My Documents and a
few others)? I believe that if I use the setup disk to put the partition
back, the data will all be destroyed. Any third party partition software
that can help?
Thanks
