Is my data lost? Installed Linux, no longer can I access my hard drives.
Here's the story -
I installed Linux on my Y drive, and all went well until I tried to boot into XP again. I can't access or install an operating system to my other three hard drives, C, X, and Z.
I think that during the install my hard drives were changed to something other then NTFS, but Linux won't access them either.
When I use my Windows XP or Windows 7 disc, it says the drive has 0mb free, and it can't install until I delete the partition, then reformat. I don't want to do this obviously, because I don't want to format all of my data.
When I go to Places > My Computer it lists my CD drive, Filesystem, and the Y drive. It doesn't show my other three hard drives.
Under Palimpsest Disk Utility I can see my other three drives, but I can't access the data on them yet.
Help!
