[snip]Hi again guys
I while ago I posted a question regarding a problem I was getting when installing FC2 in my double boot comp. The problem I had was that during the FC2 installation, a message box would pop up. It said that there were problems when reading the hard disk geometry, and it prompts you to either ignore or cancel the installation, and it says it is safe to ignore it. Well, I did, and after the installation completed I could not boot Windows!!.
Some people in the list told me to try a few things (like doing a fixmbr in the WinXP Recovery console or try other programs), but DON'T DO ANYTHING. By playing around and trying to fix it I actually screwed up the partition tables. Luckily for me I had most of my important stuff backed up in my comp at work.
I believe testdisk[1] can recover messed up partitions. I have never had to use it, but I have heard good things about it.
