OS Selector has stolen 80gig. Can I get it back?

Hi there.

I installed OS Selector on my 200gig NTFS HD last night. It went about it's business for 10 hours moving and creating it's new FAT partition.

Now when I look at my HD instead of it saying 186gig Drive and about 100gig free as it was it says it is a 186gig drive and I have 10 gig free which is obviously massively annoying as it;s a new drive.

I had a look at the disk selector thing at the boot up and also via Partition Manager and found a hidden 15gig partition - I understand that bit, but has anybody any idea how I can get the rest back.

I don;t want to uninstall OS Selector and reformat cos I'l lose a lot of stuff.

Also if I unintall OS Selector, will my PC still boot okay?

Any help massively appreciated.

Paul

i had a similar problem. also 200gb (wd) ntfs, 2 partitions (1st 10gb, 2nd whats left). creation of the 15,7mb fat16 partition took just about a minute. then xp loaded, and said something about a new hardware bla bla (assume because of the resizing (2nd partition) and creation of the new partition), so i restarted. and then, on my second partition there was no free space! was 65gb free space. i thought uninstalling os selector would solve the problem, but i wanted to try something - scandisk 2nd partition (checked auto. fix file system errors). then restarted, and hdd worked for about 5 minutes with nothing showing on my monitor. really scared me there and that was it. missing 65 gigabytes were restored. hope it helps

sorry for any bad grammar
