| 278961 | 2004-10-07 18:04:00 | I have "lost" the F drive on my harddrive. It is one of five partitions on an 80 gig drive. The symptoms are 1) on "my computer" it is now called "local drive" rather than "linux" so the computer has forgotten the name. 2) On "my computer" the drive is blank in the total space and free space columns 3) Under drive properties/general the filing system is RAW (as opposed to NTFS on the other drives. Does anyone have a clue what has happened? Note that the backup command appears to work so I am propose to back everything up, reformat the partition and then restore the backup. thanks |

| 278962 | 2004-10-07 19:21:00 | Is linux installed on this drive? If it is, windows will not recognise that partitions file format or be able to access any data on it. If you can still boot into Linux don't worry about it, it's just the way of the (windows) world). Cheers Murray P |

Note that the drive was called linux but I never got around to installing linux on it. Oh how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. |
