basically on my laptop i resized my c partition to get 20gb for a linux install. windows did work after that but then i made a 5gb partition to put stuff i want to save as i wanted to reformat the windows as well becuase of slow speeds lately. but in middle of formatting the new partition, a blue screen with words came up and restarted, but windows still works.


but heres the problem the laptop cant find that 20gb, not listed as used in a partition or unallocated space, its like i just physically cut 20gb off. i reformatted the windows in attempt to recover the 20gb but windows xp install also says theres only 40gb on the hdd.

any one can help me recover the space?
 
Download Gparted and burn to CD, boot from it and hopefully you can see and repair the drive partition without having to wipe the entire drive...
