Hi, When Partition Magic 8 fixed my hard drive at start up, I found that one partition missing after Vista SP1 was bootstrapped. From within the Disk Management tool, the missing partition can be seen in the lower list(it is not listed in the upper list). Vista displayed an error when I right clicked the properties of the missing partition. I am very frustrated with Partition Magic for causing such disaster. Despite trying some softwares to recover the missing partition, the problem persists. Can anyone help? Best regards, Derek |

Hi Derek, PM8 is not compatible with Vista and should not have been used in the first place. You might try mbrwork from terabyteunlimited.com to recover the lost volume. You'll find it in the free tool downloads. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Derek" <derekchangch@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:64E00173-9855-4204-BEED-A8E7A34B5B68@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > When Partition Magic 8 fixed my hard drive at start up, I found that one > partition missing after Vista SP1 was bootstrapped.

Hi Rogers, Thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately, Vista forced Mbrwork to close by displaying "An application has attempted to directly access the hard disk, which cannot be supported" I am prepared to reinstall Vista but it cannot find the missing partition during installation. What is your advice?

Hi Derek, Mbrwork has to be run from a bootable floppy, not from within Windows. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Derek" <derekchangch@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:4F46EAC8-1BE2-40D8-BE54-C24C54C6D5B5@microsoft.com... > Hi Rogers, > > Thank you for your quick reply. > > Unfortunately, Vista forced Mbrwork to close by displaying "An application > has attempted to directly access the hard disk, which cannot be supported" > > I am prepared to reinstall Vista but it cannot find the missing partition > during installation. > > What is your advice? > > Derek > > Can you tell me the name of the > "Rick Rogers" <rick@mvps.org> �?T�.��^息 > news:Oa90S4R1IHA.4704@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> Hi Derek, >> >> PM8 is not compatible with Vista and should not have been used in the >> first place.
