Guest Tecknomage Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Someone I'm trying to help just deleted his HD0 partitions and repartitioned them. Surprise, surprise, his HD1 with E: & F: is now SNAFU. I've never ran into this before (in 20+ yrs); caused by loss of original Partition Table correct? How does he get his Partition Table corrected? If possible. WinXP SP2 by the way.

When he deleted & repartitioned his HD0 (C: & D:) he lost the ordinal Partition Table. -- ======== Tecknomage ======== Computer Systems Specialist San Diego, CA
