Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for help on a disk corruption issue?
I know this is a dev list but no one else seems to understand my question.
What happened is that my partition table may have been slightly corrupted by
parted 1.6.3 on RH Enterprise 3(beta1) on ia64.
Are there any utilities or people that can help me? I don't have a RH support
contract. I guess I've learned my lesson =(.
-Mike
Details:
I attempted to install the new Red Hat beta for ia64. I already had an old
Debian partition on the disk, but it was too small. So, I deleted it with the
disk druid software during the RH graphical install, which I've been told uses
parted. I then made a new bigger partition using previously unused space.
Later, on the second disc of the install there was a file read error and I had
to exit prematurely.
Now I am not able to boot either of my windows 2003 partitions. I tried to
reinstall windows but it says I don't have a hard disk. =(
So I am left with a minimal install of RHE 3 and many useless partitions.
Unfortunately I need windows and data for work, not linux.
Parted lists my partitions as though nothing is wrong:
Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-34732.890 megabytes
Disk label type: gpt
Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags
1 0.031 345.146 fat16 EFI system partition boot
2 345.146 470.654 Microsoft reserved partition
3 470.654 3467.153 ntfs Basic data partition
4 3467.153 6563.153 ntfs Basic data partition
5 6563.153 10659.153 ext3
7 10659.153 13707.153
6 13707.153 34726.153 ntfs Basic data partition
What can I do to fix this? Norton disk doctor doesn't run on Itanium =(.
Thanks if anyone can help.
