First post here, long time reader.
Here is what has happened. I tried resizing an existing partition on my hard drive to install Windows 8. After resizing this partition (Windows setup claimed it was unallocated space, weird) and installing the only partition that Windows recognizes is the twenty GB one that I installed it to. I tried 'find and mount' a nifty little program that has saved me from this in the past (partition mishaps have happened to me before.) I did a thorough scan but it can't find any of the partitions. I also tried 'recover my files' to no avail. What else should I try doing? My drive is encrypted using true-crypt. Should I decrypt it and try to find the files and or partitions again?
I tried plugging the drive into another computer, and I can see the partition that I need to access, but Windows wants me to format it. Silly Windows!
Thanks guys and girls
