    Guys need your help desperately plz help.
    I've a 250GB HDD to which i've partitioned to 4 drives one of them XP installed and i've 25gb unformatted for installing Solaris on it,whn i installed Solaris all my 225GB of HDD is not shown and it is literally gone and when i again installed XP on that it all shows as a single 225 GB which actually should be of 4 logical drives or partitions. NOw plz tell me if there is any other way i can recover HDD partitions as it is as was previously. I've used some 3rd party tools like DiskInternal Partition Recovery and Partition Recovery but they only aded more into my frustration taking out all my time just for searching the drives.They show the drives and my data too but not able put them back as they are.
    plz help me ...........

    Look for a program called PC Inspector File recovery. It has the capability to read the physical drive and see any logical drives that have been deleted/formatted. Saved my ass a few times.

    [rant on]On a side note, you do realize that we spend our personal time here on these forums trying to help people with out anything in return. Most times, we dont even get a 'thank you'. So, personally, I would recommend keeping the sarcaastic remarks to yourself, and be grateful for any free help you may get.[/rant off]

    This is very true, there are many hard-working members here, and what do they get in return? Maybe some personal satisfaction for helping people, some good karma, and an occasional thank-you. You will notice that you bumped you thread about an hour after you originally posted...
