Error HDD partitions

[h2q1]

I splited my HDD (Samsum 80GB SATA) into3 partitions (NTFS), WinxpSP2. Then I installed and removeed many different softwares, I access HDD with HirenBoot CD 8.0 by PQ Magic 8.5 . But have error, I can't see    paritions which I created. (I want split more paritition for Linux).
(Now, I only know a only way is format my HDD, but if I do so, I'll lost all data).

Somebody help me?

did your make the partion then format it???  thats the only way i think you make the partaition then format the partition then you can use it

also i recommend getting  larger hard drive for XP2 if your making more than 3 partitions

If you're having trouble, try using Norton PartitionMagic. I have had a great deal of success with it numerous times. Although you do have to buy it, there is probably a trial copy of it available on the internet for download. You could also take your hard drive to a separate computer (probably a mates) and see if you can access it there. If you can, copy over all the files, reformat and repartition everything, then put all your files back on your hard drive.
