I was also able to repair my mandrake partitions with fsck, and Mandrake booted right again. Seriously, live CDs rock :) If you don't have one somewhere, I'd advise you to get one ;) Eventually, there was nothing I could do about the windows partition, I could only read it since it's ntfs. Before reformating my hard drive and installing windows, I tried running chkdsk two times but it crashed both times at the same moment. So I finally reformatted, and reinstalled Windows... According to the tests I ran on the hard drive and the memory, everything seems to be working fine :rolleyes: I really wonder what caused this mess. A friend of mine says perhaps Windows wrote over a Linux partition, I dunnow if that's possible... I'll try to run a few more diagnostic tools to be sure it's nothing hardware. Thanks for the help anyway :) ---- If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets. [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5700] [img]http://moon.shadow.free.fr/images/sigs/index.php[/img] [/url] Loading...
