PartitionMagic won't recognize existing partitions

Asked by Toddyus in Windows XP Operating System

I have a 28GB disk with one primary partition and one extended partition with 3 logical drives -- broken down in the following:

Primary drive (D:) - 2.0 GB
Logical (C:) - 2.0 GB
(E:) - 8 GB
(F:) - 16 GB

Windows sits on drive D. All drives show up in Windows Explorer, however, when I go into PartitionMagic, it shows the primary drive of 2.0 GB and unallocated space of 26GB.

I want to expand the Windows drive into the C partition, which is currently unused. I don't want to lose the data I have on the other disks, though.

Can I get PM to see these partitions without wiping the drive clean and starting over?Start Free Trial
