Hey guys
I need HUGE help. So I'm gonna post in our soapbox here.

Decided to install Linux Mandrake on a partition of my hard drive. Used Partition Magic and followed the instructions it provided with Bootmagic.
I have two hard drives - C and D
D was partitioned, so I had two logical drives (G and H)

I told partition magic to create a new partition on D, and it added a few other necessary tasks such as creating a swap drive

It rebooted and completed all of it's 16 tasks after a long time, when it got into Windows (XP) on drive C, drive D was inaccessible and wasn't visable (although the two logical drives which are on the same hard drive are there).

The next step to take in the instructions was to start up Bootmagic but it was on drive D so I couldn't access it.

Drive D is not visable!!! What can I do? All my programs are installed onto drive D, computer's in a critical state now. I really wanna avoid trying to backup everything that I can and formatting cos that is a real headache.
(Thankfully all my music and downloads are on the partitions which are accessible), but files and docs were on D.

Any help really appriciated. I gave System Restore a go but of course it was useless. I tried installing Partition and Bootmagic on my C drive but I got an error.


<EDIT>
Always happens doesn't it, once you post ur problem you find the solution. Anyway, good news, used the rescue floppy's for Partition Magic which got me access to the partitions. It turned out that Partitiion Magic had actually hidden the god-damn drive
Now - onwards with the Linux installation
