Hi everybody! I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows XP installed on a 30GB hard drive (with a single NTFS partition). I wanted to install Mandrake 9.1 with dual boot handled by LILO. I therefore installed Mandrake with the "resize Windows partition" option. However, it looks like I've lost everything that was on this partition. Is it because, during a resize, only data on a FAT partition can be preserved, and not with NTFS?
When I do an "ls /mnt/windows", it gives the error "ls: reading directory /mnt/windows: Input/output error". Also, when I boot with a DOS boot disk, I can not even see any drive letter (such as C:, D:...) but only the floppy drive A: So I guess the other part of my question is, if I want to reinstall Windows XP, how can I get back my C: drive letter in the first place? Thanks in advance for any pointer, Best regards, Mathieu.
