Partition Magic 8. Lost Partition!!

You have definitely done something so crazy if you are curious about programs like me. Crazy I mean installing programs and running them thinking they will make your computer better. I did run this program partition magic 8. Indeed its a magic program because Alas! after what it seemed like repairing my partitions they three of them disappeared! At first i thought it was just a minor thing till I got online and found thousand of people with the same problems. Worst of all no one is giving a tangible answer, These are some of the things I tried with no success.
1. I did a system restore but it just uninstalled the programs and retained its magic.
2. I tried the diskpart command but the volumes could not be seen in command prompt.
3. The disk management window gave me this error



After all that failed I tried to use the like programs. I installed Easeus partition master and Mini tool partition wizard tool and I was able to undo the harm by using the following:
First download a copy of Minitool partition wizard and install it. You must crack or buy edition to apply changes made.

I decided to merge two disks one hidden and one that is visible.

Procedure
1, Click on the the disk you want to merge that is hidden or have asteric.
2. then select the disk you want to merge it with. Note that its important to read all the information in       the program to know the next instruction since its user friendly.
3. after that you will finish the procedure.
4. Apply the changes on the left most button in the second row of the commands menu.

it may request to restart the computer just click YES.
After it restarts it will effect the changes and after restarting you will have all your disks in place.

I know there are other ways to do this but that one worked for me maybe it will for yours too! feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Caution!! don't install utility programs that you are not sure what they are for... if you must do it in a virtual machine to test its effect.
