    Win7 32bit partition corruption

    I was doing a fresh drive with partition magic and it offered to fix an error with my win7. Sadly the software assumed win7s partion was an error and I now have a blank drive that indicates it has the space I used as being used. Is there any way I can fix this? I've tried the win7 disk and it claims it can't resolve the issue. Is there any way to repair the partion and put it into a win7 compatible NTFS partition so I can recover my OS and tools?

    Fastest would be to restore from the backup... you do have a backup right???
    Tell me you didn't try to modify a partition w/o first making a backup
    If not... there are many file/partition recovery tools, YMMV.

    I never backed up the system because it would make sense and solve my problems more efficiently. I opted for the more productive option of hope it doesn't mess up.

    Lesson learned for sure Ferrit, I needed a re-load anyway. I also just booted up my getdataback NTFS and pulled my data off it so really I don't want to waste any more time trying to repair something that I could just redo in a fraction of the time.
