I suspect that the 'Programmer' installed a drive overlay program onto your system.

The program was most likely downloaded from the hard drive manufactures web site.

When one of these drive overlay programs is installed, you need to follow a special sequence if you boot from a CD or floppy, or you will loose the capacity of the drive, or even all of your data and files.

Start by reading all the documentation and FAQs at the drive manufactures web site for their utilities.

Then, try and verify that the 'Programmer' did indeed install that particular utility.
