B*stard thing has munched my drive C: a primary NTFS partition-
it did this during a resize operation when the program locked and my PC crashed.
Now the O/S (win2K) can't see it and PM8 reports it as giberish no logical drive letters.

lol@backup
I was doing the resize as my backup software wouldn't install in the small partition.
Oh well I only lost a bunch of ring videos, top quality **** and all my personal documents!

This SW has never let me down (yet).
Anyway, why change the structure of your primary partition without taking a backup (at least of the data anyhow)?

Answer: cos I'm an idiot!
At least it was just a few vids and my win98 installation that got vaped. I'm gonna try some recovery tools but I'm not holding my breath. Top tip for all PM8 users out there- backup your data
Impossible in my case as my backup device wasn't working due to insufficient disk space- thus the repartitioning.
Can anyone reccommend some recovery tools? Happy repartitioning!
