    « on: February 29, 2012, 10:33:58 AM »
    HI, I recently tried to install w7 by using a usbdrive (while reading a tutorial on a website ) that asked me to follow some diskpart commands in commandprompt, i followed those and later i realized i forgot to plug my pendrive! and after i had typed few commands frm that tute i realizd that two of my hard drives frm "my computer" had disappeared, and only two remained , pls help me in getting those two drives back.

    DiskPart as you have just found out is a powerful tool...dangerous in fact if used without knowing what it does...
    Post the directions and or the commands you ran...

    PS...if you in fact removed partitions using it your recovery chances are slim to none...

      You may not have selected empty space before you created it...

      The only choice at this point is a decent partition recovery app...

      Unfortunately there are no good Free ones.
