Guest CDoherty Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 I installed Vista Ultimate on my drive 0: I had backed EVERYTHING up on drive 1: which was partitioned into 3 drives. Good install, but now drive 1: is missing along with the 3 partitions that were on the drive. Mind you drive 1: is a separate hard drive and I did not format it. the only drive that was formated with a clean install was drive 0: how do I recover from this? -- No signature, just generic

Guest RalfG Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: Installed Vista Ultimate now 1 of my hard drives is missing It could be a matter of Windows account ownership of the drive/contents. Files or folders owned by the XP accounts are hidden from Vista or vice versa (same situation as with different user accounts within XP). In XP Pro at least you can take over ownership of files and folders via the Security settings when Simple File Sharing is disabled. I ran into the same thing after I removed Vista RC1 from a dual boot with XP. Folders that were created under a Vista user account were not accessible to XP until I took over ownership of them with my XP user account.
