Some explenation of my problem: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.as...p;enterthread=y

I was going crazy thinking my 900Gb data was gone, but then I tried installing Win xp back and could then see my drive, I then tried again installign Vista (vlited version as I am quite happy about everything else) but same problem, my WD GP drive was not accessable. Then after 4 more reformats and reinstalls I tried installing a default Vista and POOF it worked!

So if anyone could tell me which component / service or whatever I should NOT remove I would be truely grateful, I followed the PDF guide just posted here recently to check which items was safe to remove and removed almost everything that was not stamped as unsafe.

I bet this is due to removing Dynamic Volume Manager, since your disc probably is a logical partition.. Same thing happened to me.
