Re: [newbie] HELP! Linux stole my windows partition!!!

Inetd has nothing to do with drives. It runs network services.   I expect running scandisk on the bad partition would fix it. Unfortunatly, you need windows to see the partition before you can use scandisk. Chicken and egg. ----- Original Message ----- From: John I.

Mandrake 7.1 yesterday and when I rebooted the computer into windows, The partition of windows that contains all of my personal files was gone!  Confused, I went back into Mandrake and the partition was still present with all information.  I don't know why I can't see it under Windows.    When Mandrake is performing its shut down sequence, There is a FAIL on "stopping identd services"   I have tried: 1) detecting new harware under windows... No Good 2) unmounting the drive under Linux before restarting... No Good   Can anyone help me?
