Why did you do that?

I wanted to merge the old C drive with the leftover space, created a dynamic volume (which i didnt want to) then tried to delete the C drive from that dynamic volume turns out it destroys all of them.

Another reminder to everybody: Back up your important work! Upload it to the net, put it on a thumb drive, email it to yourself, however you want to do it. Most of the time, the actual important work you need to back up is small in size (unless you're editing video or something) and easy to back up.

I hate how partitioning works. If you usually have some leftover space and it's at the right end, it's almost impossible to assign it to a partition in the middle...

Is there any data recovery soft that might get me some files back ? I havent formatted the drive yet.

Just reverse the process and never merge if it isnt safe to do so.

Reverse how ?

what pb said! backup your important files regularly to an external or dropbox or whatever. Also, backup your flash media on your phone and cameras because they can and do crash(a lot, for me at least)!

There is freeware out there to recover your lost data, but i've never tried it. you can get it professionally recovered depending on how important your work is, but i've heard it's expensive.

You have un-format information saved, run Northon Partition manager 8 or a similar program.

nooo wait stojkens! I'm the one who says things!

I know that feeling rufee, except my drive just A file on it, literally, 0.1kb, but killed my WHOLE system... Sigh..

It's something like this that makes me want to throw up.

I feel terrible for you.

I almost lost all of my son's photos at one point, but I had a backup. I use Sugarsync to back up all of my important files in real time. It saved my butt.

Sorry Captain, it wont happen again
