Hi guys,
I have a 164 GB Sata 2 HDD with following partitions :
C : 20 GB NTFS - Primary, Active - XP SP2 installed
D : 10 GB NTFS - Primary - Vista Installed
E : 15 GB FAT32 - Primary - Dump
F : 20 GB FAT32 - Logical -
G : 20 GB FAT32 - Logical -
H : 25 GB FAT32 - Logical -
I : 25 GB FAT32 - Logical -
Since I found that 10 GB was too less for Vista, I thought of combining drives D: and E: . But on doing so using Windows Vista Storage manager, it crashed and rebooted. When my machine rebooted, I was unable to boot into Windows Vista and it was giving me an error about corrupted MBR. Now all my logical drives and 1 primary drive ( e: ) is shown together with 115 GB as RAW. I have all important documents. How do I recover the partitions. I will try Acronis Rescue DISK, but am not sure of its effectiveness. Any other bright ideas and suggestions guys.
P.S : Am able to boot into Vista, but I dont have any applications or My Documents or any other drives shown. I will also be installing Vista on D: and see if anything is possible.
Just help me out guys,
