    My laptop with 60GB hd was partitioned into 4 drives. I had someone do it for me, no idea how he did it, but it worked fine. Anyhoo, I recently, reformatted my hd, installed windows and stuff. But, now only 1 partition is showing up, specifically C:/ with only 5Gig on it. It's like all my other partitions had disappeared.

    Any one know what I can do to fix it? Help is appreciated.

    Right click on my computer then on manage and then click on disk management. There should be unallocated space. From that unallocated space, create a partition and wait.
