Hard Drive Partitions are Gone?

[Bobenis]

Hello All

1st post here and I hope someone has answers. THis is new to me.
have a 200gb HD. I have it partitioned into 5 partitions. On
partition for my C: OS, D: Software, E: Games, F: Storage, G
Graveyard. Well I do this so if anything happens to my OS, I ca
reinstall and all my other info is safe. After the reinstall of m
OS, everything was perfect, I had some issues with my G drive an
access denied but I managed to take ownership. Well I installed som
updates etc last night and did some restarts without any issues.
decided to do a disk check on G upon next boot up. Well I just boote
up this morning and only my C drive exists now!! All my software whic
is installed on my D drive is now inaccessable as well as all th
others. I went to Computer Management and it shows the rest of m
partition as 175gb of FREE SPACE?!?!? Anyone has any ideas
There is no way that the rest of my drive is formatted as I neve
touched it so I assume it is still there but how do I get to it? An
help and expertise would be greatly appreciated! Cheers to all
