    Messed Up Partitions

    MESSED UP PARTITIONS

    Look i have an IBM thinkpad, some old one in which there is a recovery partition, which is supposed to be hidden. Now i did a lot of stuff with linux and grub and all that.

    What has happened is that now when i do a system IBM recover, it tells me file not found. K no problem with that.

    But now i have fixed the mbr for windows and windows boots fine.

    Now i wanna install linux but partition magic says "INIT failed:error 117. could not obtain drive letters". So i dont know what is happening to my partitions.

    Pls help

    which Linux distro do you have?
    boot up windows and execute 'diskmgmt.msc' at command prompt or in RUN dialog box. Disk Mangement Tool window will pop up. post partition structure here.
