Hi all, today i merged together 2 partitions i had on a 500gig disk. I merged a 420gig one with a 60 gig one. I had tried to do it the other way around (ie merge the 60 with the 420) but it doesn't seem to have done it like that.
It took ages to do, and actually gave an error. So i rebooted and now the drive appears as one partition (which is good) but it's under the name of the smaller partition, not the larger one. I was given the option of creating a folder to save all the data into from the larger partition, which i did, but when i try to access it it tells me 'access is denied'.
The thing is - the data MUST still be there. The drive is shown as being half full to capacity, and i never formatted it etc. I just can't access it.
Please help!!
I've lost about 250gigs of stuff if i can't get this sorted.
