Ok , Disk Management SCREWED up my partitions big time .
had
c: fat32
d: ntfs
e: ntfs
f: ntfs
g: ntfs
remaining ext3 towards the end
Finally had 12 GB of free partition
Tried to convert the last 12 GB to Primary with disk management . it said all letters would be changed once it is done . I said Yes . It rearranged the partition table to
c:fat32
d:ntfs
70 gb free ( which was the remaining ntfs and ext3 put together )
and
12gb created
Was able to boot into 98 and but d: showed up as FAT instead of NTFS .
So used fixboot and fixmbr on d: and disk . Now affect .
Deleted 12gb from Recovery console (which was still working thanks to win98 fat32 )
Now . Got back D: NTFS . but still remaining 70 gb shows as blank .
HOW do i recover these partitions . I havent touched them , so probably the data is intact .
Misplaced my Samsung disk manager CD , which i normally use to recover from backup of MBR's . Any other tools to recover NTFS partition ????
