Re: partition magic (PqRP Partition )

Hi, welcome to TSF.

We need to look at the boot sector.

Download the Windows version of TestDisk.
Unzip the downloaded file to your C: drive.
Open C:\testdisk-6.8\win > double click the "testdisk_win" icon.


The program runs in a command window and doesn't have to be installed.

Each of the steps (A, B, C etc) below corresponds to a new TestDisk window.
Use the keyboard's arrow keys to navigate.

A. At the first window, select “No Log” and press the <Enter> key.
B. Select which drive to analyse, choose “Proceed” and <Enter>.
C. Select partition type – Intel if it’s a PC then <Enter>.
D. Choose Advanced > press <Enter>.
E. Choose Boot > press <Enter>.
New screen - please post back with a screenshot.

Re: partition magic (PqRP Partition )

I recently had the same thing happen while running Partition Magic 8.
Turned my computer back on to find that my D: partition went missing.
It shows up in Disk Management and in PqRP format in Partition Magic.

I've taken the above poster's steps with Testdisk and have attached a screenshot.

Speedy responses and any help is appreciated. Thanks
