Very often this is just due to a messed up partition table. Occasionally partitions can be brought back to life by deleting the partition and creating it again exactly the same size and exactly the same partition type, then rebooting without formatting. Or it could nuke all the data. If you've got a backup of the files via that recovery s/w then I'd rely on that.

There is a tool that will likely fix the problem, it is called Spinrite 6 and you can get it from Steve gibson at http://www.grc.com . It costs a good bit of coin but will fix even Linuz partitions plus a whole lot more. |
