I'm trying to recover my partition. I had it split up my 6GB HD into 2.5GB Windows98 and 3.5GB Linux (Mandrake 7.1). I just recently could not boot up into Linux. I got this error during bootup: > Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05 So, I was going to just remove the Linux partition and freshly install LM 7.2 But, when I run Partition Magic Pro 6.0 in DOS, I get Error 105: > Error 105 Partition starts on wrong boundary > > Cause of this problem: > The hard-disk partition table contains erroneous values. PartitionMagic expects > FAT, NTFS, and HPFS partitions to begin and end on the boundaries used by > FDISK. If they do not, the disk may be partially corrupted. In this circumstance, if > PartitionMagic were to make any modifications it might cause loss of data. > Therefore, PartitionMagic refuses to recognize any of the hard diskοΏ½s partitions. So what can I do to resize my Windows98 partition to the full size of the HD without damaging the Win98 partition? Here's the PartitionInfo output: >General System Information: > Total Physical Memory (bytes): 58,159,104 > Used Physical Memory: (bytes): 54,263,808 > Maximum Page File Size: (bytes): 237,502,464 > Current Page File Size: (bytes): 48,635,904 > > > >=========================================================================================================== >Disk Geometry Information for Disk 1: 776 Cylinders, 240 Heads, 63 Sectors/Track >Warning: Logical drive chain points to sector without partition table. >System PartSect # Boot BCyl Head Sect FS ECyl Head Sect StartSect NumSects >=========================================================================================================== > 0 0 80 1 0 1 84 38 15 63 15,120 560,448 >Info: Partition didn't end on cylinder boundary. > ucEndHead expected to be 239, not 15. >NOTEBOOK 0 1 00 38 16 1 0B 375 239 63 575,568 5,109,552 >Error #105: Partition didn't begin on head boundary. > ucBeginHead expected to be 0 or 1, not 16. > 0 2 00 376 0 1 05 448 239 63 5,685,120 1,103,760 > > > >=========================================================================================================== >Partition Information for Disk 1: 5,729.1 Megabytes >Volume PartType Status Size MB PartSect # StartSect TotalSects UsedSects FreeSects >=========================================================================================================== > Free Space Pri 7.4 None -- 63 15,057 0 15,057 > Type 84 Pri,Boot 273.7 0 0 15,120 560,448 560,448 0 >C:NOTEBOOK FAT32 Pri 2,494.9 0 1 575,568 5,109,552 5,109,552 0 > Extended Pri 538.9 0 2 5,685,120 1,103,760 63 1,103,697 > EPBR Log 0.0 None -- 5,685,120 63 63 0 > Free Space Log 538.9 None -- 5,685,183 1,103,697 0 1,103,697 > Free Space Pri 2,414.2 None -- 6,788,880 4,944,240 0 4,944,240 > > >=========================================================================================================== >Boot Record for drive C: (Drive: 1, Starting sector: 575,568, Type: FAT32) >=========================================================================================================== > 1.
