( |-| |2 ][ $ · 14 Jan 2006 at 22:04

I was using partion magic and lost power to my pc, now i've lost the drive i was moving.

Is there a free program i can use to get my drive back. If not a cheap pay program.

Depends what you were doing with Partition Magic when the power went. Your data may well be gone.

Have you tried right clicking on My Computer, Select Manage, Computer Management.

It does seem like drive letter association. It's a partion that's missing.

Can you see the partition in disk manager?

You could try TestDisk. This will find 'lost' partitions.
Another program you could try is Active@ Partition Recovery, though the demo version (free) is unable to recover the partition if it finds one.
