Cant view logical partitions in windows explorer after reinstall
Hi guys,
i have a 1 terabyte drive set up with dual boot windows 7 operating systems.
It is partitioned into 4 with original drive letters
1. contained an older version of Wind 7 (C:\)
2&3 contained data storage (D:\ and E:\)
4. contained a new version of Win 7 (F:\)
I attempted to change motherboards and stuffed up the sysprep.exe process somewhat. I did get the older OS (C:\) up and running again but since it has a registry problem unrelated to this (from a virus i got about 6 months ago and removed) i decided to reformat c:\ drive and start again.
The second Win 7 OS (f:\) basically is stuffed...not that im worried about it as i had only just installed it recently and hadnt put anything important on that partition anyway.
Since i have reformated c:\ and put a new win7 OS on it, i am now unable to view the d:\ and E:\ drives in windows explorer!
I went into control panel>computer managment>disk management and am able to see the missing partitions (labelled D:\ and E:\).
What do i do in order to recover the data off D:\ and E:\ partitions???
i tried using Piriform's software program called "Recuva" but it cannot see those drives either...instead finding all the files on c:\ and F:\ (which it lables as C:\ and D:\ because it cannot see the other 2 partitions)
