Hello,

I am having problem with my harddisk partition right now. The scenario goes like this. I have two harddisks (40GB and 250GB). I boot from the 40GB, while I store all my stuff in the 250GB. Both harddisk are using NTFS. Recently, I reformatted the 40GB for fresh clean install of Windows XP SP2. When I boot into windows, the 250GB was shown as unpartitioned. In a nutshell, my secondary harddisk suddenly became unpartitioned after a fresh format. Since it's a clean install, I am sure I didn't install any software to mess that up. My secondary harddisk is the WD2500SB.

Just an extra note:
Previously (few years ago), I've posted this in the forum before and someone (sorry I forgot his name) came up with a simple solution by asking me to post a HEX data of my unpartitioned harddisk. Then he asked me to change a value so that the partition becomes 'identifiable' by Windows. According to him, for some unknown reason, the 'identifier' of my harddisk was changed. So windows identified that partition as 'unpartitioned' instead of the actual 'NTFS'. This method managed to recover all my files. Unfortunately, I searched up and could not find the post anymore. Anyone can help me with the problem?

No.
