Two pretty similar partition structures but WHY one bad?
Posted: 29 Nov 2012, 20:10
I bought two similar Asus desktop recently so I have two same HD and partitioned into similar structure based on my habit. Yesterday I ruined one of them, then trying to fix it by TestDrive. It's kind of successful but one thing strange after I made a comparison. Below are two screenshots from those two HD. The upper is the recovery from the bad HD. The lower is the health good HD. Actually the structures are almost the same. Now the question is why the TestDrive recovery doesn't allow me to put the structure that way?? Do I miss something?
Another problem is, now Ubuntu can't recognize the HD after the recovery. The HD was put into a external USB case. GParted did show anything BUT Win7 disk manager displayed correctly as well as seeing every files in every NTFS partition. I thought USB caused the problem so then connected it through SATA. Still Ubuntu "grub" cannot find the file needed for bootup. This is quite interesting. Is there any way to fix it? GParted now is the only program I trust to manage partitions....
PS. I posed another question earlier in http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/test ... t1600.html. But the problem solved by running TestDrive in root shell prompt under Ubuntu recovery mode. Under that situation, TestDrive didn't freeze the system and Quick Search worked!
