My drive was being recognized as 80GB instead of 160GB, and not matter which software, which OS I tried same issue. Then I stumbled on to stuff like HD tools etc., This is a small boot disk which you can use at startup, and it boots into its own kernel. There you manually write the partition table. Take a note of the figures printed on the drive, and write them down. Then when you boot in the CD, manually write the partition table. For my western digital HD data lifeguard is available http://support.wdc.com/download/downloadxml.asp
There are man by others for example hitachi http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#FeatureTool Ideally gparted should be able to repair a corrupt primary partition table. There is another tool called http://www.ptdd.com/edit.htm So you write down your end cylinder number etc., and manually fill in the data. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
