hi guys just added a new 250gig sata 2 to my pc and as i was setting windows up on the new drive i deleted the partition from my old 80gig hdd which had all my data on, i continued to install windows on the new 250gig sata drive and can now no longer access my old 80gig hard drive.
It has all my data on it that i need i have not formatted it only deleted the partition. i have tried to access it through windows and i gt this drive is not formatted, and also trying to boot the os on the 80 gig hdd and this doesn't work either.
I also tried to create a new partition without formatting the hdd and this didn't work either way as above.
does anyone have a way around this without sending the drive off???? all i need to do is open the drive to copy the stuff off it to my new hdd and then it can be formatted.
can't believe i was so stupid to do this. thanks for all your help
