I run two internal hard drives. The first drive has two partitions with the
first partition essentially running Windows XP Pro and the second partition
essentially all my other programs. The second drive holds my data. I find
that when I run the Windows Recovery Console the second drive becomes
"unallocated". To use this drive again I have to create a new partition and
then copy back the files from my backup source - followed by cleaning and
defragmenting. A real nuisance.
1. Why does this occur?
2. Cannot be prevented?
Many thanks in advance.
