dakine Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I deleted a couple of linux ext partitions on a 400GB SATA drive, that also had a 150GB HFS partition used mainly for data. After deleting the ext2 partitions, when I boot into OS X, I can no longer see the Mac partition. When I look in Disk Utility it states that the HFS-J partition is an NTFS partition. However, I have NTFS-3g installed and the partition does not mount as an NTFS partiton. When I boot into XP though with Macdrive installed, Macdrive mounts the partition as an HFS-Journaled partition and all of my data is still there. Anybody have any suggestions on a way to repair the partiton, Disk Utility wil not mount the partition. (See attachment) DU_Capture.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmac Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 You may need a reinstall. :censored2: I know, but it may be the easiest/only fix! ( Repartition, install, and get on with hackin! ) If you have your system set how you like you could make a .dmg of it and restore instead. :censored2: Post back what you do. Good luck dakine!

dakine Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks for the reply. None of the problems with the Hard Drive are that big of a problem if I have to reformat the whole hard drive, I think I can pull off any data that I absulutely need, but could I just delete the first partition that is the problem, and then create a new partition using Disk Utility, it makes me wonder if using Disk Utility that it will wipe out the whole Hard Drive.
