Reclaiming partition 'S'
okay so for those interested in a solution I figured something out that
seemed to work for me. basically I made the original C drive the "active" drive using the drive manager tool built into Vista Ultimate. Then I put my OS installation dvd into the dvd drive and restarted the computer. I hit the F12 key to get into the one-time boot screen and booted from my OS installation dvd. I used the "repair" system option and it reinstalled files that were missing from my C drive. Once the computer booted normally I deleted the partioned drive and reallocated the extra hard drive space to my drive using the "extend" drive tool. Hope this helps some people. I'm relieved I got it to work. "hitman" wrote: I ran the bitlocker tool but I don't want to use it after all. how would I go about reclaiming partition 'S'? thanks. |
