What exactly do you mean by "gone" ? Where did you find them "gone"? fdisk ? If you have no fat32 partition. and have norton utilities. then run NU disk doctor from your windows partition in safe DOS mode.
NDD will most probably detect your lost partition and prompt you for recovery. If it doesnt, then stop NDD right there...do not repair anything. Download DMS partition manager and run Disk recovery. It can recover all kinds of partitions that were recongnizable till win95. Partitions later than ext2 are not recognized by DMS. Also note that DMS is a command line utility and **MUST** carefully read the documentaiton before u try any stunts on your Hard Disk. If still you are unable to recover your partitons then, backup your win98 data into some other hdd, remove your win98 partition(s) and then again try NDD(then DMS) again. Just remember this, unless you are SURE that the partition that any of the utility is trying to recover is actually the partition that you want. DONT LET IT DO ANYTHING. Let me know the result. rgds, Amit. PS: Please "buy"(new term) Norton Utilities package if you dont have it ! Its not GPL. ;o) ----- Original Message ----- From: "deepak yadav" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 8:26 PM Subject: [ilugd]: recover few lost partitions > hi, > some of my (PC) partition table got corrupt when i did a reboot due to a > hanged windows 98.
