Installation issues..
I have an issue with the Windows 7 OS that I cannot resolve. I'm a software developer and I am setting up a new development machine with Windows 7 on it. I have installed it with a fresh reformat of the c drive and the install works perfectly. It's what happens after the install that is confusing and frustrating me. I have a second hard drive that I split into two partitions which were formatted before the install of the new OS. After installing the OS, I load all of my development code on the first partition of the second drive and I install all of my development apps on the second partition (ex. Visual Studio & MSDN Library). All the apps install correctly but after working for a while in Windows 7 all of a sudden the partition that I install all my apps on is now unformatted RAW. It has happened twice now. I do not want to reinstall Windows 7 until I can figure out what it is doing and how I can stop it from wiping out my partition.
