Hi,
I have slackware 10.1. I rewrote my ntfs partition with cfdisk and now I am
unable to boot the partition (with windows xp). Can the problem be that i wrote
the table with cfdisk or could it be some thing else. In additional there is two
different ntfs partition is cfdisk both named same way. I used the first one
can't remember the number (or was it 86, don't remember).
The reason for doing this was to include slackware to same disk. First I deleted
ntfs partition and made it smaller. Motivation for doing this was mbr chrash due
use of "System Mechanic 6" or at least I think so. I intalled lilo to mbr and it
fixed the mbr problem. Booting problems can also have some thing to do with
System Mechanic 6 altering my dll-files or some thing else.
The ntfs partition is first partition in the disk and I use lilo-bootloader. Can
I fix the partition with ntfstools to be bootable?

Greetings: In other words it looks like you want XP to boot,
but then how would you run Slack; with a floppy??
Anyway could you not re-edit /etc/lilo.conf putting the hda1
notations ahead of the Linux notations; running lilo to rewrite the MBR?
How about booting with an XP rescue floppy or CD and running
the old standby; fdisk /mbr?? Live dangerously, eh?
HTH.

Hi, Tommi Tapani Piirainen:
I bought a laptop with Windows XP and I repartitioned the hard drive
with fdisk but I did not create any NTFS partitions. I used the
recovery CDROM and restored the o/s to /dev/hda1. Then I installed
Slackware 10.0.0 to the remaining hard drive portion.
/dev/hda1 NTFS Windows XP home
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda3 / Slackware
"I rewrote my ntfs partition with cfdisk and now I am
unable to boot the partition (with windows xp)."
Yes, I would expect so. I expect that you will need to reinstall Windows.
I have no knowledge of "System Mechanic 6". :-|
HTH, Chuck

;your problem may be the NTFS volume should be type 7 (HPFS/NTFS)
instead of 86 or 87, which i believe is for dynamic disks (partitions
spanning multiple disks).
;another issue may be that your /dev/hda1 is toggled as bootable, i
don't know for certain. i thought that the bootable flag was just for
linux, so is it possible that you toggled it on when you installed
slackware, and linux has this as your /boot in /etc/fstab? or did you
turn that flag on in cfdisk yourself?

Hi,
Ok, thanks I will try type 7 after I back up my recent data.
I toggled hda1 bootable, so I will change this for my linux partition.
Thank you cRaig from your answer:) If none of these changes will solve my
problem I will reinstall.

Your best bet might be to use windows' fixmbr to repair the boot record then
using a live linux cd repair lilo. Further, to access ntfs partitions in
linux you should mount them as ntfs-3g.
