Hi

I have an IBM notebook which came with vista home basic pre-installed. Using Vista disk management, I made a partition on my HDD. After running for almost six months. My windows got some problems due to which I had to run a recovery disk. After running a recovery disk, although OS has been restored to original, my D: is missing. It's showing the only c: to me now. I have checked in BIOS also. I am not sure whether it has merged the two drives if so. What about my data.

Can you please suggest what to do.

Thanks

There may be two kinds of situations that the D: was deleted to become unallocated space on your hard drive, or the D: was merged into your C: drive, but not along with the data, only space merged. As to the partition, it's not like single data or document, which is easy to be overwritten by new data or later operations. The partition can be found even lost quite a long time ago. Under this situation, with a partition recovery for Windows Vista, you can quickly get the missing partition back, together with all data stored on it.
