Hard drive went blank
Part of my hard drive suddenly went blank. Now when I use Disk Management it shows that I have 92GB of free space where 2 partitions had been
 Anyone knows what the problem is or is there any way for me to recover my files? |

Hmm disks don't suddenly "go blank" for no reason. Try running scandisk. Also a virus scan would not go amiss either...

My disks are in NTFS file system, and 2 disks broke at the same time, one of them lost 2 partitions, the other one has a partition corrupted.
Can't run scandisk because the partitions are gone now and it's now "free space" Ran a virus check and came up with nothing. This happened 4 times in 2 years only with this computer (PIII 800mHz on i815e board). |

I bet 20 bucks the partition table got destroyed somehow. A little searching on google brought up this handy little page:
