Hi

Installed Linux as dual boot on Win XP machine. Had 2 partitions C: and E:. During installation Linux shrank the E-partition and created it's own partition in this area. After installation this partition is inaccessible to both XP and Linux.
I've run DiskPatch but it reports that it finds too many items to proceed.
The faulty partition is still visible from Disk Manager in XP but reported as unformatted. The partition is 24.3 GB. Enclosed run from partinfo

Cheers,


Bengt Walerud

Hello,

Please re-download DiskPatch (so you have the latest version) and re-scan the disk. With the latest build it will be very rare that the DataCollection array will be filled entirely.

Please post the new logfile.

"QNX, UN*X Log 24921.1 40965750 0 40965812 51038336"

Partinfo will say "QNX, UN*X" for file system, if the partition type is 07 (IFS), but if it can not find proof that the partition is NTFS or HPFS. This will be the case if the boot sector for the partition is corrupt.

It may be possible to fix the boot sector. if indeed the boot sector is the only corrupt component you should then be able to access the partition again.

Kind regards,
Joep

Hi Joep

Read the FAQ a bit more thorough and changed the .cfg file. After that the analysis went through.
I selected the desired partitions and "repaired". The mentioned partition is still inaccessible though.

Hello,

The logfile is too large for the forum, part of it 'fell off'.

I suggested to update to the latest version (2.1.200). That version does a pre-analysis during the scan resulting in a smaller data collection array. Because of that the logfile is easier to analyse.

Could you please create a new logfile with that version?

Sorry! I missed the logfile you mailed me!

Okay. The boot sector for the NTFS partition as it is currently defined is zeroed. Also, no backup boot sector was found.

We do find however find a boot sector and a backup boot sector for an NTFS partition that would start one sector further.

In the partition list in DiskPatch; entry 003 and 004. I suggest to run the repair again and select entry 003 instead of entry 002 (which is I believe the one you selected.

It's a matter of trying and keeping your fingers crossed ... For no NTFS partitions we find all components (partition table, boot sector and backup boot sector). Entry 003 however does start at a nice valid cylinder boundary while the one you currently selected doesn't.

Did the trick - partition back in perfect order!

Thanks!
