ryanschachte Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Alright so.. I had a 400GB partition with windows 7 on it, and another 200GB partition that I formatted and installed OSX 10.6.2 on. I had chamelelon and everything installed, then when the bootloader came up, I could boot into Snow Leopard perfectly, but now my win7 partition doesn't even show up. I tried rebuilding the MBR in Bootrec, and I guess for some reason the partition got converted to GPT? I'm not sure if that is supposed to happen and I don't know why it did that. I jumped into Gparted and tried to fix it by changing the active boot partition to the Windows 7 partition, but it shows a caution symbol and says it can't change boot flags to do that. I took my HD out and put it into my other computer and opened up Disk Management in Windows 7, and it shows the 400 GB, but it says it is unallocated. I am almost positive, there is no reason it should have been wiped, I am not sure if my data is hidden in there or not. Any ideas? I am currently running EASEUS Data recovery crossing my fingers to see if it will find data on the "damaged/lost" partition, but I am not sure. Thanks.
