Restoring the partion from WD hard drive
I got 300G WD Hard Driver. I had to use WD Disk to formation the hard drive because XP (no sp) can only see 136G. Which I formatted, installed, and then update to SP 2. After that I when formatted the other half of the hard drive 164G using XP Disk Management. XP had some problem so I did fresh install using XP CD installer, however only 136G partitions showed during the setup which was fine. After the setup files were installed on the 136G partition the computer would reboot every time trying to access the 300G as the main drive. I slap 80G WD hard drive and installed XP & SP2. When I reconnect WD 300G har drive as slave. XP seen 300G as a whole partition that need be formatted. I remove the 80G and set the 300G as the main hard drive & boot to WD CD. The CD seen the 300G hard drive, but first partition is 800G and the second (I think) 164G.
How do I recover the 164G partition data?
I don't have money to spent on data recove software. I'm a poor college student
