So I have a MacBook Pro, with a 500 GB hd. I had 3 partitions: Mac Lion (100 GB), Mac Snow Leopard (100 GB), and Data (300 GB). I was running out of space on my Lion partition, and Snow Leopard is just an empty partition, so I decided to delete it and resize my Lion partition. It wouldn't let me delete the Snow Leopard partition, so I just gave up.
I didn't notice any side affects (this was a few days ago), but my laptop battery just died a few hours ago. I didn't think anything of it, but after trying to open iTunes, I realized my 300 GB Data partition is nowhere to be found. When I open disk utility, it shows Mac Lion (100 GB), and disk0s4 (299 GB) then no partition in the last 100 GB or so.
The disk0s4 partition isn't mounted, nor can it be mounted. Is there anything I can do to recover the data that was on my Data partition though? Nothing's been mounted over it, so I'm pretty sure nothing has been able to modify it so far.
Thanks,
Ryan Pendleton
