| 1432213 | 2017-02-25 11:55:00 | Strange thing has happened on my Dell laptop. It has W7 Ultimate, dual booted with Puppy Linux. The partitions are not seen by Partedit in Linux, the whole drive is shown as un-allocated. All the partitions show up in Roxy file manager Windows is normal, shows up in disc manager. I have checked all partitions, no problems found. Both Linux & Windows are functioning normally. |

| 1432215 | 2017-02-26 22:32:00 | Eventually booted with 'Fat Dog 64', still couldn't see the partitions but this time it told me "the partitions are overlapped, can not proceed". Went back to Windows and this time found two "unallocated" spaces. Tried to expand the adjacent partitions then all the partitions vanished except for 'C'. I have now formatted the whole thing and done a clean install. Got rid of a lot of rubbish, and didn't lose any important data as it is all synced to Google drive. First complete reinstall in 9 years! | mzee (3324) | ||
