hey all,
I have a story which I hope will have a good ending. Before knowing how goback worked in the beginning. I had a computer with goback on it and I needed more space on the C drive (a problem that I now know is partially caused by bogack). The drive had/still has 2 partitions on it. I looked at the drive with gparted thinking that I could just "grow" the C partition and solve my problem. Gparted said that it only had one partition and it was 74G (80G drive) and that there was 2.5G "free space" at the end of the partition. Up until this point the hd functioned normally. I told gparted to expand the partition to take up all the space on the hd. That's when the s**t hit the fan. Apparently goback has its' own way of spec'ing a hard drive that is not standard. Now when I try to boot to the drive it gives me little smiley faces all over the screen and just reboots. I have tried the ISO disk to delete goback but since the table/partition info is all screwed up I just get an error about something not being consistent. I really need to get goback off this drive and get my data off it too, important company info. I believe there is a dos type/level program that can delete goback off a hd but I haven't been able to find it or download it to try it. Hind sight is 20/20 and if I had it to do over again I would have removed goback FIRST but live and learn. The hd is a SATA. Anyone out there have any ideas?
thanks,
charles.....
