The installation disk deleted the partition, and made the disk usable for its install. It happens.
That is why we jist dont click next next next in installs, and we take the time to read the next step. Tough lesson to learn.


Whatever was on the volume, is GONE!

Go into disk management, and see if the volume is still active. If not make it active, and online.

Hi,

Open command prompt and type "Diskpart" and enter
Now diskpart window will appear.
Now type "select disk 0" and enter
Disk 0 will be select
After this type "list partition" and then enter

Now you will be able to view all the available partition of your disk

Note: Replace disk 0 with your disk name like disk 1 disk 2, etc.
