    Partition missing after Win 7 installation


    Hi guys! I'm stuck with this situation:

    1.I start installing a fresh copy of Win 7.
    2.At the point of installation which concerns partitions I delete my 2 old ones (had 2 partitions on 1 HDD) and create 2 new ones.
    3.I continue installation on the smaller partition (just for the OS purpose)
    4.All done perfectly with installation.
    5.When I go to My Computer I am only showing drive C: (the smaller OS partition) and I don't see the second partition at all.

    Any ideas?

    Hi manastar

    Welcome to Seven Forums. :)
    Could you post a snip of your disk management under administrative tools?
    In case I'm not clear go to > Control Panel>system and Security>Administrative Tools>Computer Management (Right Click and Run as Admin if you are on a standard user account)>Storage Tab>Disk Management.
    Check if your other partition is displayed there

    10x a lot Lomai! You asked for a screen but once I got there it was all clear what to do.
    It showed up as unallocated space and there was the option to create a new partition on it.
    10x a lot again!
