my HD is 40GB and its layout was as follows primary 1 - 9.76GB with win xp pro (drive c in my computer) primary 2 - 9.76GB clone of above partition with xp, made using savepart (drive g in my computer) rest of the HD is extended partition with 3 logical drives two 6GB (drives d & e)and the other about 6.75GB (drive f) everything was fine, and i used to have my data in the first logical drive of the extended partition (drive D in my computer) suddenly, all i could see in my computer were drives c & d also this d drive was not my original d drive, but it turned out to be the second primary partition (the xp clone) also the size of this new d drive is reported as 9.76GB in my computer but device manager shows it to be a primary partition of 29GB i am sure all my data is still in the disk, and i beleive the problem might be a corrupt partition table. i do have some of my data backed up, but not all of it what can i do to recover my data please help since i have lost months of hard work i donot wish to sign
