Sorry this is really M$ related but: I had a customer with a constant rebooting machine, which we found was a motherboard problem, PSU was fine and also switch was. So I used the latest Gigabyte motherboard as a replacement GA-700N-400Pro, which was an advanced board on the older 333 motherboard that went.
Installed MB strted the machine up with the XP cd in as boot to access R (repair) so as to reconfigure the hd system to boot on new board, done this before. However it all of a sudden had just a C: drive whilst it used to have AFAICR C,D,E,F. It now sees only a c: of 80 gig and will not access repair. Looking at the drive in dos it sees c: only and If I access the R and fixmbr it says its not a standard mbr. All we did was change the motherboard, could this wipe the mbr and scaramble it? Is there a way to fix without losing all the data? It looks to me as if there is no way out but to reformat and re partition etc. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'SKIPPY' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061, Australia:: PH:61733002161 Practising Geriatric, Retired Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
