RE: [newbie] Partition disappeared, how do I get them back?
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED I fixed my partitions, but it took a while. the prob was using mandrake's "auto-allocate" function to set up my partitions over the existing partitions. it trashed the partition table. Linux still worked just boot magic and partition magic couldn't. here's how I fixed it. in windoze open windows explorer and got \Program Files\PowerQuest\PartitionMagic5\UTILITY there is a program called ptedit32.exe there. run it and you can see all the details of your HD partitions :) what I had there made no sense. so I set all values to zero for that drive. now use Part. Magic and the drive should show up as completely free "unallocated". now you can create new partitions here or use mandrakes utility. be careful where you place your boot info so boot magic will work! good luck all Seth Hollen [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Classification: UNCLASSIFIED I got the same problem w/ partition magic also. and boot magic won't work too!
