Hi

I'm wondering if there is anyway i can stills see my data.

Here's what i did:

I have 2 hdd-s 250gb both, seagate sata.
On HDD1 i had windows xp sp3 pro and on the other, HDD2 i had most of my graphics work, large psd-s and 3d renders.

I was planning to install clean fresh xp on my HDD2, so I resized the current partition on it from max to 175gb, leaving 57gb empty, unallocated space. Then i created partition in that space and formated it NTSF.
Some reason I thought i had to change the 175gb partition from primary to logical because i thought i would have problem installing xp. I found out later that it was only with older windows that you needed to have only 1 primary partition per hdd.

So did I loose my files by changing my data partition from primary to logical?

At this moment i have it like this:
HDD2:

unallocated 2047.9 gb
logical disk not formatted(why is it unformated???) 175gb - shows active atm
logical disk NTFS 57gb (this is where i intended to instal new xp) - shows inactive atm

I'm using paragon partition manager for this.
I'm just posting before doing anything else, just to make sure if there is any danger to my data on that partion 175gb.

I was gonna next try to set the 57gb partiton active and make it primary.

Thanks for any help and welcome to ask any questions if im being confusing!
