I have Partition Magic 8.05
Because of a computer crash, I decided ( not wisely!) to attempt to add a partition to an external drive. It is a Seagate freeagent Pro 750Gb. connected by USB2.0 port.
I moved the drive to a different computer, fired up Partition Magic and I requested a new 100Gb partition. I did NOT back up the 380Gb of data on the drive when I started.
PM made the 100Gb partition and gave it a name. The remaining drive partition 'lost' its name in the process. Using the PM browser I can 'see' the data on my drive ( which I changed to a logical partition) However Windows ( I run XP pro) cannot see the partition.
The PM creation process finished with an error message - sorry I did not get the number - stating that the data in this partition did not have a file i/o.
When I ask PM to check the partion stucture it comes back with 'no errors'
What can I do? I do not want to lose the data if I can help it. I guess that because PM have done such a good job for me over the past many years I have become far too careless about backups before changing partitions
