Disks inaccessible then `free space`...

[zkr]

Hello guys.

Before formatting C: and installing a new Windows 7 Ultimate N 32-bit copy,
I resized d: and c: through another OS (xp) located on a different HDD. This was done using "EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition".

After Installing Win7, c: d: e: were accessible but f: and g: weren`t. Although seen in Disk Management without letters. Could not assign letter to them and got an error "Disk management console view is out-of-date..."
They were seen and accessible just fine in XP.

I then decided to backup and format them one by one.
I started with e: because it was having a ! icon in Easeuse, so I wanted to format it too. After doing so in Win7 DM full format (not quick) I noticed that now those 2 drives are seen as FreeSpace, so even seen in XP, in DiskManagemant. I have 200GB of important data on them, what can I do ?

Those are the before and after pics:

It`s a SATA WDC W10 EADC-00L5B1 SCSI Disk Device.
Please Help.

It's best for you to image the drive, before continuing playing with partitions.
After that, you can use some logical software (Rstudio, GDB, etc) to see if you can get the files.

Yes I did it, backedup. Then I used the fabulous freeware :
Testdisk

It took me many hours but I successfuly copied the files.
It`s the best and only program I found to work and find them - Very simple and thoroughly working.

Best regards,
