Comment: Hi, Due to some unknown causes, one of my existing harddrives suddenly went missing! System was able to detect it in BIOS but I can't see the drive in Window Explorer. When using the Computer Management > Disk Management program, I am able to see the "missing" harddrive but it's indicated as "Unallocated". So I am thinking of trying to re-create partition for this drive but was afraid that this might erase all the exsiting data in this drive... Does anyone know if data will be erase when creating partition?? Or does anyone know of other alternative to recover back my "missing" hard drive? Thanks a lot!

Reply: (edit)If you create the partition you will lose the data. What file system was the missing drive? did you check for loose or damaged cables?

Reply: (edit)Hi, thanks for your reply.. the missing drive is using FATS .. yes, I have checked and tested by plugging the cables to another hard drive and was ok. Just to add on, there used to be some bad sectors in that missing drive .. could this be one of the causes?
