I was trying to install linux. something must have gone wrong as C is now the recovery partition that used to be D. Any way to restore the C partition? Thanks
My C partition of the primary Hard disc disappeared!?
im not exactly sure what you did to cause the problem but i can speculate.
1. you deleted the partion for your earlier C: and it is present as unpartitioned space.
to recover from this problem use an xpcd (i presume it is xp)and boot from cd. Then when it comes to the partitioning part create partion.
2.
You formattedyour hard drive to work with a diff file system so it is not being recognised by winodws now.(not a likely possibility). in which case you cannot do anything abt it.
3. by some goofy software glitch (read feature)
your drive letters have been reassigned. Happened to me once while i was trying to fix someone's fancy cash register. what i had to do was something old school use a floppy drive and a bootable floppy containing format.exe and reformatting everything from scratch.
Actually the answer from the earlier guy might work well too.
Reply:regedit. HKLM\System\MountedDevices. rename the drive letters and reboot.
