Deleted partition remains deleted

[2forza]

Hello everybody!!

I''ll keep this short:

I deleted my D: Partition (30 GB)

and now I cant get it back... (see screenshot)

Does anyone else know how to solve it??

Thank you!

Do you have a drive overlay? If you've used 3rd party disk software you probably have, such as maxblast. What happens if you use diskpart to create the partition? Have you used linux? It's something in the MBR or maybe a MBR virus causing the issue, i suspect a drive overlay.

Nope, no third party softwares,

I deleted my partition with vista setup.. hmm

Im going to try to make a new one with partition magic...

edit:

I solved my problem, I used my XP disk to make this new partition.

The XP disk never let me down

Thanks for helping anyway!!

Just for the record, Your D: was a Logical Drive in an extended partition...not a partition. So if you were trying to create a standard partition inside of an extended partition...that's not supposed to work

for anyone else that comes across this, testdisk can do a 100% recovery in about 10 seconds if you do this..

as long as you don't write any more to the drive
