    After trying to use partition magic my PC just crashed and rebooted. Then I realized that one of my two partitions is just gone.

    How can I get my drive back without losing data ?

    Thanks

    What do you see in PM if you run it again?
    What about disk management?
    Disk recovery software should be able to get your stuff back. If you have to format the partition to get the recovery to work, do so but make sure you do not write to that partition until you have recovered your stuff.
