Hi Mark, In theory such a conversion "should not" result in data loss, however I would back everything up before I performed the conversion. As to the original problem, can you answer the following questions? 1 Are the HD's SCSI or IDE? 2 Have perform either a hardware upgrade or a Windows update/driver installation recently that you feel might be related to the issue. Otherwise, your HD might be dead. Software for example, called 'GetDataBack' might help you recover it in that case. If it appears to just be the Partition Table, search on google for a program called 'restsect.exe' and create a DOS bootable floppy with that program added to it. Run the program from Dos after booting with the floppy and it may allow you to access the partition successfully again. |
