Big Hard drive problem
Howdy All
I recently (1 week ago) purchased a gaming pc. Fairly well speced.
Now not far into the peice I installed Acronis Director Home 2011 and created a petition on my c drive. I have a 1TB drive. I created a roughly 300 gig c drive petition and that left a say 630gig Data Disk petition along side. All good until now.
Since buying I have installed a truckload of games and other software.
Today I tried to re-size my c petition trying to make more space as it was getting a bit squeezy in the c drive petition.
Acronis went through the motions as usual. Towards the end of the process it reported some error.
When I then looked at the drives/petitions in my computer the only one visible was the c drive petition. There was no longer a Data Disk petition to be seen.
I then tried again to resize back to 931 gig but no good it still showed a 300 gig petition.
Getting a bit sick of it now I decided to reinstall windows and start over reasoning that that would fix the problem-no it didnt,still only seeing 300gig.
Funny thing is when i was installing windows it asked me if I wanted to install on the 931gig harddrive but after install its still 300 gig in "My Computer" view.
I can usually work most things out but not this one.
Help Appreciated
Thanks
