How to recover my partition on my laptop (1 Viewer)

Folks

I have lost my data on a partioned disk. It used to be called D: and now its E:
Folks how do you I recover a letter and the data in it? I hope there is a simple way of doing that.

The letter assigned to the drive has basically nothing to do with what is on the drive. The Operating System assigns those letters when it boots and will move things down or up depending on what hardware is found. Are you using Windows XP?

No am using Windows Vista

 

[RuralGuy]

Have you added anything new to the system? What convinces you that your data is gone? How did you lose a partition on the drive?

originally there was Windows Vista, then it crashed. I re-Installed windows using Original Vista Recovery CD, and happened that D: drive has been deleted and there is Zero data. The drive letter has also been changed to E:

I'm sorry but that's about all I can offer. I know essentially nothing about Vista.

Thank you for the effort.

In the search box in windows start menu, type "disk management" (without quotes). I am not sure what the shortcut is, but know the search will find it.

On this screen, look for unallocated space. If there is one, then it is likely your recovery deleted that partion and recovery would be quite slim. If there is a space that does not have a letter assigned to it, then right-click and change drive letters. Once you do this, you should be able to read it. Although not required, it is highly recommended that after you change the drive letter to restart the computer.
