Hi i have 2 drives that are IDE 1 IS 200G the other is 80gb on the 200gb it had a partition 40 gb for windows installation and rest is data what i did by mistake delete the 40 gb partition so now i have 200gb combined does this mean i have lost all data on that drive as i removed the windows partition. the partition has not been formatted. On th 80gb drive i did a 20gb partiti for windows installation which wss successful before i installed windows on the 80gb i disconnected the 200gb drive when i now connect the 200gb screen is going blank when i disconnect it i have no problems getting to windows the 200gb drive had a partition for windows and as the partition has been deleted and windows still on there and the drivenot formatted could that be the reason. i dont want to really format it as i have some data on there what can i do to access the data on the 200gb drive thanks
moved to correct forum as not an all other topics issue. how are they jumpered as in master, slave or cable select as appears both drives are jumpered the same thereby conflicting with each other & not booting into windows?
