So heres the story:
Tried for days to install Ubuntu. Never worked. Tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling..
But heres my issue:
I used Norton Partition Magic to partition my drive for linux.
I followed the prompts, it asked me to reboot, then asked me to choose yes (What did I answer yes to? cant remember thats the problem)
Once it was completed, I received Error Operating System Not Found. Ouch.
Darn, I knew that would happen. I made sure to backup all my media.
BUT, I didnt think to backup my pictures. Live and learn.
I had a brand new 250GB drive (internal)
and installed my copy of windows xp pro sp2 on it.
I set the error drive into slave and checked it out when
I booted into windows.
It is now labeled I:Linux and is 30GB (out of the 250) it should be.
When i was trying to install Ubuntu I partitioned my drive (error drive now).
I set aside 30GB so that I had enough space on it to install and play around with Linux.
Now I guess thats all it sees.
What I'm looking for is the rest of it. It was labeled C:Hard Disk.
Any helpful tips?
you might want to try "testdisk" it's a free data recovery software, it also has a photo recovery addon. It can repair the boot sector and maybe get all you data back on the error drive.
When you download it, there are 3 folders, you want to open the folder that says "win", the exe files are located there. No installation require, just double click on the exe files.
