mehtadone Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have a problem which I hope you guys will be able to help me with. I have two SATA Drives on my PC. On my main one, I formatted it. and installed the Kalway distro of OSX. I partitioned it and hope to install vista on the other partition. The problem is the other drive. It was partitioned as FAT32 and I had backed up all my data on to it. Unfortunately, both OSX, and Bart's PE disk is recognising it as unformatted. During the istall process, I have never touched the second drive. The only thing I can think of that migh have gone wrong is I used the Disk Utility to partition the first drive with a GUID boot sector. Has anyone any ideas on what I might have done wrong and how to fix it?

Lord_Richard_2 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Move the partition slightly to have gparted re-allign if it messed up b4, or try chkdsk on it. Repair the MBR try to hide/unhide it using some program.
