Hey, Windows knowing where it's partitions are got fixed yesterday, due to me doing
one little change to the registry (I figure after I did that and rebooted, Windows was forced to rescan the drive), but I also found a neat little free utility called
TESTDISK. It can find lost partitions for (and run under)...
- BeFS ( BeOS )
- BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
- CramFS, Compressed File System
- DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
- HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
- JFS, IBM's Journaled File System
- Linux Ext2 and Ext3
- Linux Raid
- RAID 1: mirroring
- RAID 4: striped array with parity device
- RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
- RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
- Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
- LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
- Mac partition map
- Novell Storage Services NSS
- NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista )
- ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
- Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
- Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
- XFS, SGI's Journaled File System
Cool!
