Hello

Am having a problem with my hard drive and need some help to fix it..

i used Testdisk to repair one of my hard drive's problem and while doing that i clicked on the wrong hard drive and did the following steps..

No log --> Proceed --> Intel --> Advanced --> Boot

then used this steps as well

No log --> Proceed --> Intel --> Analyse --> Quick Search --> Write

I did that to the wrong hard drive, what happened is that i lost 2 partitions full of data.. both have 400 GB disk space each.. i went to the control panel.. disk management and i fount 785 GB unallocated

What shall i do now to restore the 2 disk drives that i lost?

Need help please

Try this http://www.dtidata.com/ntfs_partition_repair.htm I assume since you didn't pick the Vista option in Testdisk that you are running XP.
