| 139608 | 2003-05-01 19:35:00 | Most likely means the drive has been converted to the Linux Filesystem (like Phoenix said).... If you want to access it from windows again. your going to have to convert it back to the FAT32/NTFS File System - however I'm not too sure how to do this without formatting Sorry CyberChuck |

| 139609 | 2003-05-01 23:17:00 | If Knoppix is able to see it, it might be able to read it. That does not mean that the partition has been converted ... Linux doesn't do that unless it is told to (and the conversion is a format). You will need to mount the partition to do much with it. And you will need to mount another MS partition to copy the files to that. |

| 139611 | 2003-05-02 07:58:00 | Hey raddersnz... Why don't you bring the HDD round, i'll drop it in Sam, and see if its readible, if so i'll copy it over to Sams drive, then we can format that partition, and copy your stuff back???? Just be quick before i leave for the harvest party :D .Clueless |

| 139612 | 2003-05-02 08:52:00 | Absolutey do not use fdisk. And get a hold of a boot disk with partition magic on it. I can give you mine. Email me at: powastryker (at) icqmail -dot- com and I'll lend you a copy. At least with partition magic you will be able to see exactly what filesystem your D drive is. Whether it be linux, ntfs, fat32 etc. Once we've determined what filesystem it is we can help you better. |

| 139613 | 2003-05-02 08:56:00 | And when installing linux I believe its a good idea to install a bootloader. Linux will wipe out the Master boot record anyway most likely. And if you didn't make a boot disk then your really headed for trouble :) Besides bootloaders are good! They look nice, and let you boot into any operating system on the hard drive. ;) Can you get into your linux partition at the moment anyway?? If you can, try installing the lilo bootloader from inside. May help. |

| 139614 | 2003-05-04 14:05:00 | I have got a copy of PM back, so you people can take a look. My D: drive (sal.neoburn.net) I will now try to make it active. |

| 139615 | 2003-05-04 14:55:00 | And after a little playing around...... I can now get at the partition (sal.neoburn.net) again. So thank you all who gave suggestions - except those who offered the FDISK option. That was never an option. I thought this spelt it out (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) But thanks anyway. Radz:p yay, I can customize my system again:D |
