    The first thing to do is stop using the drive(s) in question. The more they are 'accessed' the slimmer the recovery possibilities become. Slave it/them (one at a time) into a working system which is equipped with a data recovery tool. There are a few free programs available on the web, with varying levels of results, and ease of usability.

    A Google search (or search engine of your choice) should bring up links to these. Pick something which sounds applicable to your dilemma. I cannot attest to any of these as I have purchased commercial products.

    Just to add, whatever you choose, thoroughly read any instructions as to use. You may have only one shot at it.

    If you have a problem with the external hard drive then how does it relate to the internal hard drive?

    You can always just make another partition out of the one you deleted. As for data recovery, Im not 100% sure you can get it back. How did you accidentally delete this info if I may ask.

    Because both NTFS and FAT32 volumes maintain backup boot sectors, you should be able to recover the volume by restoring the boot sector.

    This is assuming your deleted partition volumes were either NTFS or FAT32?

    Thank you very much who was trying to help me with this... but i did little bit more of research and found that Partition Table Doctor 3.0 or 3.5 can fix my problem... well it did just like I wanted... but thank you very much who helped..

    how i accidently deleted is that im a person that likes to fix computrs but im not that good at it yet.. well i got this one computer that had couple viruse.. well the person that gave me the computer told me it would be better if i save everything instead of formating the harddrive... well just in case i couldent i put everything on my exturnal and forgot to disconect it... then when i was re-instaling the windows i seen two hardrives wich i though that its both that are in the compure... but totaly forgot that it was my exturnal... but hey... now im happy that it works:)
