I removed a partion, the pc crashed, recovered....The two optical drives are not being read by windows...

Though the Bios is reading them as slave and master...plus they are on and working fine.

Software not being my gig:

How does one remove a partition without reformating the hard drive? The sectors would be lost to windows.....

Slave and master... Does this indicate 2 hard drives? Unless you altered the bios it will continue to read a slave and master even if you removed the slave..

Otherwise maybe a CD rom is the slave.... You lost me....

Slave and master Dvd-r and Cdrom drives are not being read by windows.

The manufacter cd removed the partition and reformated and the sectors were recovered during chdsk.

I won't be back for awhile.
