Windows doesn't recognize data after resizing disks with PM

[ferocius_net]

I tried to resize the C drive in my computer with Partition Magic 8. I
used free space from my D and E drive. Everything went well, so I
thought. I could reboot the computer, but Windows thinks that my D and
E drive are not formatted. If I check disk manager in Windows, I
can't see FAT32 as the file system for D and E. (it's blank) If I
check the disks in Partition Magic, the data still seems to be on the
disks. Because I can see the correct used disk space on both disks. Is
it possible to do anything to rescue my data?

And you had no backups before you did the partition work? Using a disk
editing tool like Symantec's PTEdit or Microsoft's DiskProbe you may be
able to reset the file system flag on the partition, but that is no
guarantee that you will get your data back. Other than that you can try
partition recovery software. Doing partition work without backups is
like playing Russian Roulette!

I have done it lots of times , always created backups. But that is a
consuming time. I was in a hurry yesturday, so I skipped the backup
for ones...

But that was not a very smart thing. :s. Is Symantec PTEdit included
in PM, and understandable? never used it before.

thanks

I don't know if it's included with PM but you can download it here:

Speaking of data recovery, I would also recommend ARAX Disk Dcotor
tool.
It will prove useful for you I suppose
