Norton's/Symantec bought Partition Magic....and killed it off...so can't try that, either.
Unless something new comes up....this thing is a paperweight.
**************************************************************************
I have a PC dual-booting Windows Vista Home Premium and Ubuntu 10.10.
A couple of weeks ago I added a 2TB internal SATA drive and mounted as an NT mount point in a folder on my H: drive (the Windows Vista system drive).
I hadn't used NT mount points before and vaguely remember people telling me they could be dangerous....but, I thought, that was years ago and things will probably have moved on a wee bit.
For whatever reason. the mount point is no longer accessible as data space. The partition I created on it has effectively disappeared in Windows. Only the unallocated fragment of the disk is still seen by the Windows system. It drive itself is present in the BIOS.
I can't re-partition the drive as neither Windows nor Linux can see more than the tiny fragment that wasn't originally allocated by me to a partition.
Storage management in Windows (and Disk Utility in Linux) now see only a 4.1GB unallocated disk space without a partition. The rest of the 2TB drive is invisible to both Windows and Linux. I should say I did not attempt to access this drive from Linux, though the system itself may have detected it and "had a look".
Anyone have any advice? Is the drive ker-phecked? Or can I recover it?
