Hi,
I have an 80GB drive, with three partitions. C: and D: are Windows XP and Vista, (about 10GB each) and E: is Data (60GB)
I ran out of room on the Vista partition, so I tried to take a bit from XP and give it to Vista. When I ran Disk Director, I received "Error: Cannot Write to Drive at Sector xxx; Retry, Ignore, ignore All" I received one when shrinking the XP partition, and many more when trying to expand Vista.
I tried Retrying, didn't work - so I had no choice but to ignore. Now when I reboot, Vista doesn't load, but XP does. I can't see any data on the Vista partition anymore. The Vista Startup Repair is unable to do anything, reports the following:
Root cause found:
Boot configuration is corrupt.
Repair action: Partition table repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
And when I run "Check Partition" in Disk Director, I get the same thing, "Corrupt master file table. CHKDSK aborted."
I've attached a screenshot and Acronis' report.txt
Is there anything I should try before I re-install Vista et. al. for the ??th time?
Thank you very much,
Zingaro
