Stuck - Lost a partition

#1 Post by lcangler »

I am trying to recover my D partition that has suddenly disappeared. My 320 GB drive was partitioned between a C and D drive. Windows 7 64bit is loaded on the C drive. Attached is the disk mgt screen shot which shows what is found now. I have no idea what the small 1.46gb partition is, but it is not my boot drive as I have only one operating system and it is on Drive c (programs).

The problem is that when I use testdisk my drive D (storage) is there along with all the files. But it will only allow my to delete it and I don't want to do that, so I don't understand what to do. It is also showing the small disk as my boot disk when it is not. I really could use some help. All I want to do is restore the large 219GB disk back to the D drive.
