I have an ipod on my Dell XP machine. &nbsp;I have X-play installed, a utility to see the ipod as a regular disk. &nbsp;I upgraded to the latest X-Play. I have my ipod connected via firewire and my external LaCie hard drive connected via firewire. When I originally installed the external drive I had reformatted it for Windows. After installing the X-Play upgrade, my system rebooted and an x-play message popped up saying that my external drive had both windows and mac partitions. It asked me which I wanted. I told it not to do anything. Well, now my partition table is gone on my external drive. I can't see any of my files! <br />
<br />
I uninstalled X-Play, but that did not help! Someone please help, how do I get my partition back?!?!

Can I recover my partition table?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
