Tripredacus Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 You'll need to run a tool to tell us what state the disk is in. Diskpart can give you some info. I will move this to HDD forum for better exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergaster Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 If there is free space showing where your drives should be, I'd suspect that there are no partition table entries for their partitions in the Master Boot Record of the physical drive. The drive hiding tool must have used the MBR to manage the partitions.If the partitions are there, and use standard NTFS or FAT32 file systems, you can use any number of tools to find the partition boot sectors, from which the location and size of the partitions can be determined and used to place entries in the MBR, which will make the partitions visible again. If they're encrypted, then you may have additional work to do.I'd suggest downloading testdisk and let it try to find any obvious deleted partitions.
