Fixed MBR of the drive, it's now seen as unallocated
Hello,
Too much stuff happened so I'm going to list them in the most condensed way possible
1. Installed new OS. Win x64 Ultimate
2. Everything is fine, loading drivers.
3. Drivers loaded, everything is fine.
4. Restarted computer, one drive disappeared.
5. It's now showing up as 2TB unallocated drive in Computer Manager but it's in fact 1TB. WTF!
6. Took out the drive, put it on a external usb-sata drive bay so that I can access it as a USB drive
7. It worked. No problems with the drive whatsoever. Smart is OK. Files are OK. Chkdsk showed no problems
8. I've an application called Active File Recovery. Looked at the drive with AFR. MBR shows problems.
9. I selected fix MBR from the list.
10. Drive is gone. It's showing up as unallocated.
I know that the files aren't gone. Is there any way to fix it without using file recovery software? Recovering an entire 1TB harddisk would take too long and plus I don't have 1TB extra space lying around to copy the files.
