Re: Hard Disk Partition Recovery
I can't figure out that how I can see everything fine under Linux but not
under DOS.....how do I get things working correctly?? Any ideas would be
appreciated.
Had a similar problem some times ago: after removing a boot loader
(system commander lite) I found my C: drive was not accessible anymore
from DOS or Windows.
It was accessible using linux by booting from rescue disk or knoppix,
but it was not booting from HD, whichever boot loader I used (lilo,
grub, DOS, ...).
After several hours I discovered that the boot sector of the inaccesible
partition was damaged: linux seems not to care about this, seems like he
just read the partition table before mounting the partition, but DOS or
Windows refused to mount it.
I solved by copying everything on a second HD and then regenerating the
boot sector (FDISK /MBR).
Maybe your problem is similar.
