Partition Lost
I've a Vista Business on my laptop.
I can't mount my third partition, when I try to mount it using disk management console I got: (I can see the partition in the list of partitions, but it can't display file system type) "The operation failed to complete because Disk Management Console view is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart computer." I tried refresh and restart but I got the same error everytime. The output of diskpart: DISKPART list partition Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 OEM 6466 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Primary 35 GB 6467 MB Partition 3 Primary 52 GB 41 GB DISKPART select partition 3 Partition 3 is now the selected partition. DISKPART detail partition Partition 3 Type : 07 Hidden: No Active: No There is no volume associated with this partition. I used Vista recovery DVD and I clicked on repair and then on command prompt. Everything is fine there and my partition and files are visible! But I can't get it to work under my Vista. I also used paragon partition manager and tried to assign a drive letter to my partition, but it said that the partition is being used and it didn't work (under safe mode). Any solutions?? |

Partition Lost
I have the same problem. I can't mount my second partition (there is no extended partition) under Vista Buisness (x86). Using Disk Management Console I always get the same error. But in WinXp everything works fine. Using -diskpart -utility, I notice that there is one difference between WinXp and Vista. My partitions have different numbers: WinXp: 0 - partition that I can't mount in Vista 1 - "other" partition Vista: 2 - partition that I can't mount in Vista 1 - "other" partition May be its Vista's Bug??? Cause when I used one primary and one logical partition, everything was fine. But now I use two primary partitions and I can't mount second primary partition of the one harddisk. -- gameover |

Hi, Romi89.
DiskPart is powerful - which means it can do as much harm as good if you don't take the time to understand what it can do and how to use it! Partition 0 In DiskPart, Partition 0 is the Extended Partition. An Extended Partition is NEVER assigned a "drive" letter. But we can create one or more logical drives within the Extended Partition. Each of the logical drives can be assigned a drive letter and individually formatted. In fact, a logical drive is treated as a partition in many ways. Even in WinXP's Boot.ini, when we refer to a partition(#), logical drives are counted just like primary partitions. I have windows vista ultimate 32-bit. Anybody has an answer??? This treatment relates to the file system, not the operating system. It's the same in Windows 98 and in Windows 7 x64. RC -- R. C.
