If you do not have your data backed up, I would use a program such as Partition Wizard to try to recover the partitions. Free Download Magic Partition Manager Software - Partition Wizard Online
I would use the bootable version at the bottom of the above link. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one

My drive e has 128gp and c-system drive has 78gp. I tried to shrink the e drive and extend the c drive in disk management but when I tried to shrink the drive it says not enough memory to shrink. I am sure that I selected the space less than it indicated. | | My System Specs | | OS windows 7 ultimate 64bit

Windows Disk Management will not always allow you to shrink as much as you would like.
Use Partition Wizard bootable disk instead. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one

Partition "E" and "F" disappeared and unallocated problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:15 PM. |  |
Both "System reserved" and "C" partition cloned to external HDD: boot?
