LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted June 4, 2005 ARGH, I NEED HELP!!!!!!! ok, i wanted to install linux on my computer, with my windows files, but it didnt work, and it partioned off on of my HD and i couldn't un partition it, so i went to Command Prompt (following instructions on MS.com) and i accidentally turned off the drive, i think. I didn't delete it, because i go to Device manager and its still there. So, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!?!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BKY1701 0 Posted June 4, 2005 You re-formatted it in a way windows can’t understand (and likely lost all files; as they can not be carried over from win to Linux or Linux to win). You need to find a partition application and make it NTFS or FAT32 to use it again; doing so will however delete any files left. The Linux installer may have the power to return it, I know debian give me the option to make FAT32 (even thou Linux can’t use it), if it can return it and there are files on it they will likely be saved if you do it by the Linux installer.

LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) i just went to CONTROL PANEL>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT> DISK MANAGEMENT then used the Unallocated space that was there, that i "set free", so to speak, to recreate the HD. Ty, for the help though. Edited June 4, 2005 by LordOfTheBorg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
