    Drive Missing



    I removed SP3 and installed Windows 7 in my PC. After installing it I found that my one of the partition was missing. I tried a lot but no success. I can open that drive with the help of Hiren (Mini Xp) but not from the PC's O/S. Plzzzzz help me!!!

    Copy the files out using Hiren's or this method: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console - Windows 7 Forums.url

    Delete the partition to create and format a new one in Disk Mgmt, then replace the files.

    The partition table is slightly different in XP which can sometimes cause these problems.
