  1. Hello everyone, I have an old PC with Windows XP Pro. XP boots from 40GB ATA HDD, second HDD is 300GB SATA. SATA disk was partitioned into two partitions - 30GB and 270GB. On 30GB (an unallocated partition), I installed openSuSE 12.1, tested it, and decided to remove it. The 30Gigs were repartioned as 1GB swap, 11GB Linux system partition and 18GB for user directories ( /u ). Using SuSE's YaST I restored the previous MBR. Booted the PC back to Windows XP, it was working fine. Using Windows XP's Disk Management I wanted to delete the three Linux partitions. So, I deleted the first one, the info for the sizes of the other partitions on the 300GB SATA HDD became totally wrong ( someting about 1.44TB unallocated space and so). I decided to solve "the bug" by rebooting the Windows, after the reboot, Windows XP was nor able to "recognize" the SATA disk anymore in the Disk Management screen. My data on the 270GB partion are "lost" and I need some of them. I don't have a backup of them. ;( Is there some way to fix the issue? I booted my PC with the XP installation disk, went to the repair console, used DiskPart, it does not see the SATA disk (I didn't use the F6 option). Issued FixMBR, it worked fine. Now, Windows XP works "fine", except that I am not able to access the data I need. Thanks to everyone who helps me to solve the issue.
