I have a 20 Gigs Hard Disk - I tried to install a SuSE 7.1 on it, after
partitioning the drive. The installation got hung in between and now when I
am trying to run partition magic to check the status of the partitions, it
says:
Init Failed: Error 117.
Partition's Drive letter cannot be identified.
Also, when I am trying to check the partition info it says:
Disk Geometry error(s) were detetcted on this drive.
I copied the disk information and posted here. I can boot from windows
though, at this time. I'm sort of lost here, will really appreciate some
help.
Thanks!
