Hello,
Hello members, how are you all? I have Win7 installed as my OS. In my desktop I have 2 different physical hard-drives. First one is 40 GB which is whole C-Drive without any partitions. Now the other hard-drive is having capacity of 500 GB, which I had divided into 4 partitions namely D, E, F (each 100 GBs) and the last one is G-Drive with 200 GBs capacity.
Now, 2 days back I had used Win7’s inbuilt Disk Management tool and had shrunk my D-Drive by 15 GBs. Hence, I had got a new partition with 15 GBs capacity which I named as Z-Drive (just to recognise it very easily). Today my work was over and I had no need for that Z-Drive anymore so I just explored ‘My Comuter’ and formatted Z-Drive using right-click context menu. After formatting Z-Drive I started Disk Management tool. I just right-clicked Z drive and clicked ‘delete volume’ so that I may get that much space as ‘Unallocated’ and then I would again extend the D-Drive (or so I thought). But when I deleted my Z-Drive, don’t know how but G-Drive also got deleted along with it and now both Z and G drives are shown by green color in Disk Management tool and they are showing their capacity (15 GBs and 200 GBs respectively) as free space!!!!!!
I have a lot of crucial and important data and files on G-Drive. How this G-Drive got deleted automatically along with Z-Drive?? And I haven’t formatted G-Drive, are my files and data still present on G-Drive??? After all this I right clicked 200 GBs partition (G-Drive) and selected ‘New Simple Volume’ and followed the steps accordingly (I had checked ‘Do not format partition’ while creating ‘New Simple Volume on that green colored 200 GBs space ) but this tool waits for 3-4 minutes and gives error message as “The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer”.
I had refreshed and restarted the computer several times after that and tried to create that ‘New Simple Volume’ but every time the same error-message pops up. First of all please tell me is my data still safe on that 200GBs space (as I had checked ‘Do not format partition’ while creating ‘New Simple Volume’)????? And then please suggest me how I can convert that 200 GBs space into G-Drive?????
I am very much tensed as I have a hell lot of important data and files on G-Drive!!!!!! Please help me members if there’s any solution to this……….
