Vista boot problems, partition problems
Ok
I've been messing around with partitions and now it seems I cant boot into Vista, Unmountable boot volume also my Vista drive i see in XP (dual boot) is unformatted I used to have a 40GB + 20GB + 20GB partitions 40GB for XP 20 for Vista and 20GB for storing stuff all in that order on the drive I used Ubuntu 7.04 boot cd and gnome partition manager then shrunk the storage drive(to 10GB) to see if it might delete all my files (test), it didn't so i went ahead and shrunk the XP partition to 20GB but then i found out i cant increase the Vista partition... so I went back and increased the XP partition to 40GB and restored the storage partition to 20GB and now Vista doesnt load XP detects its own partition as 20GB not 40GB, Vista Partition as unformatted and the storage partition as 10GB Ubuntu sees it as 40 + 20 + 20 but the free space in the drive is screwed XP says there is 18GB of files in the 40GB partition Ubuntu says there is 34GB or something the Vista partition's free space is ok according to Ubuntu the Storage partition says there is 11GBof files while XP says there is 3GB, XP has the correct amount now I am not sure what to do Fortunately Ubuntu can see all my files so i can back up and reinstall but the uni semester isnt over and i dont want to do that yet all partitions are NTFS the XP partition is primary the Vista and Storage are Logical |

The hard drive manufacturer will have a test utility, run it on your hard drive.
