download acronis disk director
it can view damaged or lost partitions.
but in order to repair it, you will need
to buy a copy.

since you are managing several partitions,
it is a handy piece of software to have.
i am have it and use it regularly to
manage my partitions as needed........

I've Windows XP Pro installed on a Primary HD and while I'm working on it,
the power gone out, and when the power came back again, I found that I had
lost the partitions [C: & F:] from my Secondary HD (which has Windows XP
installed on its 1st partition [C:]), so it became no longer can boot from
it, I tried to restart my PC several times using the Primary HD, and
finally;
one time when windows boots up, it discovered that something wrong with
partition [C:] in the Second HD and solved the problem for that partition
only and retrieved its label and everything was on it so the Secondary HD
became bootable, but still that partition [F:] has the label [Local Disk]
and
no details neither for Total Size, Free Space, nor File System, and when I
tried to open it, a message says "The Disk in drive F is not formatted. Do
you want to format it now?".
I know I can format it and the parition will be usable, but the problem is
that partition has a very important files I need to retreive.
So, how can I recover this partition? is there any DOS command I can use
like that Windows used to recover that partition [C:] in Seconary HD.
Please reply, I'm really need you help!!!!!!!!!!!
