Ok, So I had Windows XP and had Windows 7 ultimate x86 on dual boot. I tried to transfer all my files from XP's partition to Windows 7's partition.
Win XP had about 400 gb of everything I had since 7+ years. Windows 7 U x86 was about a week old and there was on it. So I tried to make the dual boot to Win 7 U x64 and delete the X86.
But I accidentally booted from usb with Partition magic and since the XP partition was a Fat 16, I thought making it to a fat 32 would make it faster. So with partition magic I did this : "Format to FAT 32"
When I did that, it just deleted the partition as I can see that the whole drive is said to have free space. But the files are still there as I don't think it formatted the whole drive in thirty seconds.
I do have another partition on the same drive [this is the same partition I had Win 7 on] and I deleted that partition and formatted it to NTFS. When I try to install Windows 7 on that partition, the installation goes through the first stage but when the pc restarts to continue the installation, it says "Disk Failure please insert system disk to continue."
I can clarify anything that needs to be clarified and can take pics if necessary.
But an advance thanks to everyone who makes this forum so great
