How-To Geek

For installing Windows 8, i resized my F drive and E drive (i.e. decreased F drive space and increased E drive space) from EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition, after i clicked on the apply button, process went on, at last it displayed a error message, System Information Update Failed. I was unable to locate the F drive in my computer, it is not found but it is found in the EaseUS, i am unable to recover it.

I've tried diskpart tool, but when i list the volumes, there too i could not find the F drive
And when i tried the Disk Management in Windows and right-click on the F: drive (which has no letter over it) and then clicked properties, it is saying to refresh or relocate my drives or restart my PC.

None of them worked. Now what can i do?
