WTF!! My Harddisk partitions just vanished! Strange

[eggman]

Hi

So I have this Lennovo Thinkpad T520 laptop. It has a total HDD capacity of 300 GB.
On it's arrival I had created few partitions to store movies , music etc. It was some 4 months ago.
Everything was working flawlessly till now. Today when I opened my Music player to play a song , I got the shock of my life!! It said that it couldn't find the files.
So I went to Computer, only to find this:
*i41.tinypic.com/212xy8h.jpg

All my other drives are vanished. It's just not there.
I am sure I didn't do anything at all in the past two days. And all the files were there the day before.

So I went to Disk Management and I see this:
*i41.tinypic.com/2vb4tp0.jpg

Strange, how it says that C drive is for 300 GB, while in the first line it tells me its for 58 GB (which is what it shows in My Computer).
When I try to Shrink the volume, it gives me a limit of 20 GB ( I assume because it's the Free space available).

To make everything worse, My system recovery was not turned on.

And since this is a Office laptop, I can't risk doing anything nerdy .


Any suggestion guys. It's the weirdest sh!t I've ever seen.
Lots of Data is there. It just vanished.

Boot using Gparted and see if the partitions are listed there.

1.Try booting a linux live cd and check if you can mount your partitions and recover data.Else try gparted and see if partition are there or not .

2.Try recollecting if you have made any change to partition recently.If they are ext3 , they may not be visible in windows.
