I use XP Pro SP2 with all Partitons formatted to NTFS.
One of my hard drives is partitioned into C,E,F & G OF 8000
,15000,24,000 & 10000 mb's respectively. I have D.I. files of all of
these drives which I update every so often .
I was restoring a previous Image file of the C & E drive the other day
and I got distracted in the "restore" operation and , inadvertently
"restored" the C Image File into the E partition .
What seems to have happened here is that , the C Image File being an
image of a 8000 MB partition has now resulted in the E Partition being
divided into 2 partitons one of which has no E identification and is
of 8000MB and the other is now designated "Unallocated Space" also
with no identification which is of (15000-8000) MB in size.
I have a copy of P.M. 6.0 which seems unable to restore the Parttions
to the position and size they were in before this error ocurred.
I am , therefore , considering using FDISK to restore the drive to its
previous state by re-formatting and re-partioning the entire drive.
Will FDISK be able to delete all the Partitions on this drive ,
including the unnamed 8000MB Partition and the "Unallocated Space " as
well as all the other NTFS Partitions ?
If not , can anyone suggest a way of returning the drive to its
original state ?
