Trying to reformat & re-partition drive
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 12:39 pm
I made a mess of my Dad's netbook, and I'm trying to fix it up. I was using gparted to adjust the size of the partition and I think I accidentally typed in a number 9 instead of a 0.... honeslty I'm not sure what I might have done, but the machine is now stuck in a constant rebooting loop.
I have the re-install disks for XP Home, and I'll have an external CD drive tomorrow.
I have the UBCD ready to boot off a USB drive - but what tools should I use to repair any damage I've done to the drive? Is there anything I can do to diagnose with UBCD and discover why it's in this rebooting loop?
thanks
