    I've 4 primary partitions on my drive.
    I've resized the system partition (win 7) and the second one with gparted.
    No problem with the first but the second is gone.
    Disk management shows it but no way to format or change the drive letter.
    What can I do ?
    Thanks

    Trust me, it IS a partition.
    The problem in creating partitions with disk management is that it always creates logical (not primary) partitions.

    +1 on that suggestion. DD is a great tool.....
    Have previously found hidden partitions as well as deleted ones with DD.
    Be carefull though to use at least 10.0 build 2169 or later.
