Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit: D Partition Not Visible After C Partition Format & Reinstallation

Hello, after the C partition format with the system and reinstalling the win 7 home premium 64 bit system, I can't see the D partition next to the partition where I have a lot of important data. I'm a little green so I don't want to touch anything myself and I say right away that the format is out of the question. I will add attachments.

Please start by trying to assign a letter.

I do not see such an option after right-clicking on this partition

Without a letter, he will not see. You can use some program. You can try to delete it and recreate it should assign the letter itself, unless there is data on the partition. Any disk management program or look at google.

The advice is potentially harmful - in the event of a damaged logical structure of the disk (as you might suspect here), using "some" program (for partition management) may cause irreversible damage to the data on the disk. In the event of any direct interference in the structure of the damaged disk, it is absolutely necessary to start with making a copy of at least the modified area (e.g. partition table), preferably the entire disk.

Please use ppm on the partition shown at the bottom of the applet - where drives are listed - and choose "Properties" first.

When I use PPM, only help appears at the bottom. I will not delete the partition because I have data on it that I do not want to lose. As for the program, I downloaded the test disk, I do not know if it is suitable and too much how to use it

Enter the hard disk management program in Google, choose a free one, as the problem is the PL version. After all, there is everything in Google.

Minimum will.

As matuzalem advises, click on the partition with the right mouse as the window opens, the third position from the top "change the drive letter ..."

I will look immediately and I have already written about this that only help is displayed ...

The partition was hidden, I discovered it using a previously downloaded program. I tried to use it to give a letter as if it showed that it was successful, but for the partition there is no letter I will add that now there is an option but they are gray, I can't click them

Here it shows everything to that there is a letter and NTFS and here it is missing.

Something not like that, show the DMDE screen from the partitions window view after selecting this disk from physical devices - wrong partition type. Lest it sometimes turns out that it is a created backup partition, or a recovery partition with other than your data and data is partially overwritten.

The partition was assigned an OEM ID (ID = 12) as if it were a Recovery partition, and Windows does not see any filesystem on it. You are too hastily to operate on this partition without having a copy of the data ...

Why did the partition become active? If it's not a system partition, now you won't be able to boot from that disk. Only one partition on the disk can be active, and that should be the partition where the boot sector is located.

Now change c to active and since there is a letter it should be fine. After making changes, you must select the apply button in the program. Usually the computer restarts and then check.

Hello, after the break, I uploaded the windows installation to the pendrive and with the guides from google in the command line I changed C to active. I am adding the letter D to the partition and it shows in program, but not in disk management.

Boot from this drive normally?

so why shouldn't it start?

Added after 3 [minutes]:

And the fact that the state writes none is normal?

Because there were problems before. OK, check again if the partition has not been hidden by the installer.

The partition is uncovered as shown in the previously thrown screenshot.

When it is discovered, the explorer or my computer should see it.

but he can't see

There must be a letter. But if, after the last time, the program set it active itself, there must be a boot sector on it. Are you sure the data is there? did you use this partition? Use the program again just pay attention to active partitions.

I accidentally set the partition to active. The data there even shows that out of 465 397 are available. And I think I know why you can't see the partition. I followed these tips because the button didn't work for me and I had to select partition D and gave it set id = 12.
Is there a chance to get it back now?

I chose the 3rd partition (because it said that it is usually the last and highest-numbered partition) and entered set id = 12.

Change the ID to 07. Also show the DMDE screen from the partitions window view after selecting this disk from physical devices. Maybe it is not your previous data partition, but one created during installation. Did you only have 30GB of data on it ?.

I'm already lost. How did it happen that suddenly the "boom" disappeared? Have you installed anything? System change. The easiest way is to remove it and create a new one from the free space. Data lost.

Another harmful (and not entirely true) piece of advice on this topic. After all, the author indicated from the beginning that he cares about the data from this partition. By the way, deleting a partition and re-creating it will not delete it (if you do not format it - which does not delete data as such, it will even be possible to mount it and all data will be as it was).

I set this id to 07 and after re-typing the partition is already visible thanks for your time and help. Subject to be closed

One Key Recovery is not working for you and it will not work because you do not have the factory Recovery partition on your disk. It's a pity that you didn't mention at the very beginning that you changed the partition ID yourself and ignored the questions about the partition layout view from DMDE and my remark about the wrong partition ID. It could have been closed halfway through this topic ... for the future - in the event of any data loss, keep your disk activity to a minimum, unless you have a copy of it. The first and most important thing is to determine the cause of the problem, only then you can use the appropriate software for a given purpose. Partition managers (especially these types of graphical managers wherever you just click; DISKPART or PARTED can be helpful, as long as you know what you are doing and know the cause of the problem) are definitely not the right software to repair the logical structure of the disk and they must not be run on disks with damage, whether logical or physical. You were lucky that the logical structure was correct, only the partition type was wrong and using the manager did not damage it.
