Partition **** Disk #0, Partition #0

Partition **** Disk #0, Partition #1

I went to do something with partition magic (it recognized something with the pointers I believe, so I allowed it to automatically fix the error) and now I'm not even able to access Partition Disk #0, Partition #1 which is a drive that I used to store data (No OS). It doesn't appear in 'My Computer', but does appear in Disk Management but it doesn't seem like I can do anything with it besides delete the partition. There's a lot of data that I have stored and I don't want to lose it all.

I used a partition tool to find out what sectors each of the partitions are starting at and for one of them it's sector 15 and the other it is sector 33. I'm not sure if that has any significance to my problem, but just thought I'd let it be known.

I solved this problem by going into device manager and uninstalling the usb drivers. Then when I plugged the hard drive back in it reinstalled the driver and worked.

Hello trichard13,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Community.

Try using diskpart to assign a drive letter to Disk #0, Partition #1.

· Click Start Orb > type diskpart

· Right-click diskpart in results above > click Run as administrator

· Once diskpart loads type list volume, press enter

You should notice that you will see your partition that you use for your data, it should not show a drive letter assigned to it.

· Type select volume 6 **** (replace 6 with the volume number assigned to the partition in question)

· Type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter that you want to assign to it)

When you look in Computer, you should be able to see your partition.

Hope this helps

I'm having a similar problem. In my case I had a laptop with 3 partitions: C, D, and F. The F partition is the one that disappeared. C is the Windows 7 install, and D is a Windows XP install. When I boot into Windows XP (C & D get switched in this case) the F drive works properly, so I know the device itself is fine.

For Windows 7 I tried some of the above techniques, but the problem is that the volume does not show up at all in diskpart, and since this isn't a USB drive it I can't just uninstall all of the usb drivers and plug it back in.

Thankfully I have the Windows XP partition so I can backup the partition from there onto an external hard drive, but I wonder if anyone else has found a solution to this Windows 7 defect.

Did you use Partition Magic as well? If not the problem might be a different one.

If one install recognizes it and the other does not, I'm leaning towards driver issues. Maybe the F-partition formatted differently? and Windows 7 somehow lost the driver for that particular format?
