Swapping a FAT32 partition to NTFS
Hello All,
After various other problems, I've found myself in the unenviable situation of having messed up my partitions so I now have one FAT32 partition and appear to have lost my real NTFS windows partition. How did I get here?
My computer wouldn't boot, so I looked at it using Recovery Console, when I did a dir it said there was nothing there. So I looked at the partitions using the XP boot CD and it said I had one unpartitioned space and another smaller available space on C:. The unpartitioned space was the NTFS one, which I assume was my current XP installation.
Back in recovery console, I did fixboot C: , which has got me in the situation I'm in now, I appear to only have one FAT32 partition and my NTFS one has disappeared...
Does anyone know if there is a way of getting my NTFS partition back, or should I just count my losses and reformat?
