I was working with Partition magic to try to get my brand new 320 gb hard disk to work with WIn2000. Well, in the process and in a way I don't understand because I never told the computer to EVER touch my C: drive, I accidently unpartioned my master drive. I being stupid checked my backups and they aren't current. I don't care about the OS installed or if it runs right, I care more about the files that I can't replace. Can someone please help me on this. I didn't in the whole process tell it to repartion and when the computer boots it says the 100gb C: drive is unpartitioned so I think their is some hope. Please help.

I believe ther MAY be an undue function included with PM8. Read the documentation for PM8.
On another note you need to have Win2000 SP4 installed AND have a 48bit LBA compliant MBoard in order to use an internal HDrive over 127GB. Look here for further info on 48bitLBA. http://www.48bitlba.com/index.htm

Trailing OtheHill... in respect of "undo" routine.

in the "manage partitions" section there is a reference to an undo function for PM8...; and similarly there is refernce to this for PM6:

So have a look-see in the manual etc. to see how it can be done...? It would be "very wise" to do nothing else to this drive (tweak its partitions etc...) nor write to it it anyway - nutil you have read teh PM manual re' "undoing the actions "it" carried out...
And for future use... First safeguard all files etc. - before you start playing with an installation, or tweaking drive partitions etc...; copy those folders/files off the system to removable/optical media and verify they are truly accessible in full. Then go ahead with your tweaks/changes and the like.
