HDD not visible in disk management

I decided to delete one of the three partitions on a non-system PATA
disk prior to increasing the size of the other two.

Now the complete disk is not visible in 'my computer' or 'disk
management'. It is however visible in the BIOS and device manager
(indicated as working).

It appears to be running and the connection also seems to be OK.

Grateful for any suggestions.
 
I would guess that you probably deleted the 'primary' partition, and the
'extended' and 'logical' partitions went with it.
 
Oh Sh..

Any idea how I make the disk visible again?

No, I don't. Removing a partition destroys the data. I suppose there are
people who will do data recovery for money, but I know of no 'undo partition
removal' app.
 
Hi rbel,
You might wish to consider calling Aurora Data Recovery. Its a very
respected company recovering data for both private clients, but even
for some of the largest and most experienced corporations in Europe.
Your hard disk problem should be a simple matter for a company that
works 27/7 with such incidents.

As you will see from the "what does it cost" pages, the fees are very
reasonable. Additionally, (genuine) private persons receive a generous
price
reduction.

Its at least worth taking a look at their site or even giving them a
call.

( one piece of well-meant advice: experiment by all means if you can
afford to loose your data; making mistakes is part of the learning
process. Talk ONLY to professionals if the data is valuable of
difficult to replace )
