this is the problem : In my hard drive i was using winxp and red hat linux, so i uninstaled the red hat linux from my harddisk and now i have big problems with the hard drive. the hard drive has 80 GB but no the system tells me that the harddrive is only 13 GB i can not see any of my data that i had on that hard drive, since the hard drive shows me only 13 GB i know that other data should be there but where? I i am using some recovery software but all i can see from that soft is that i have to logical partitions in the hard disk. What to do to save my data, i really don't want to format the drive since i have some files that i use for my profession. Thanks in advance
Thanks for your wellcome. i removed the red hat using the commands fixrmb and fixboot, the windows was not starting with that hardware an error saying NDLTR i missining, and after that to safe my data i changet the hardrive from master to slave but i still can not see the rest of the hard disk, i see only 35 MB of my hardisk.
with you've only removed the boot loader for Red Hat (presumably you typed them into Windoze recovery console) red hat is still there & presumably the 13Gb is the size of the Windoze partition, i think you need to re-partition your HDD to allow Windoze to use the full HDD or am i wrong ? Edit: to use an existing master as a slave you need to change the boot order in the BIOS or make the HDD master again
Ok i saved my files thanks to one tool for Harddisk managment called: Partition Table Doctor. Thanks for your help
