Hi All
I plugged in a 160gb NTFS hot swappable that has 3 partitions on it. I unplugged the 160gb and plugged in my 1 terrabyte HDD NTFS hot swappable in the same sata port etc.
Now this where the problem lies, my 1 terrabyte now shows that it has the same 3 partitions as the 160gb and 840gb unpartitioned space. It should just be 1 partition of 1 terrabyte. Iv rebooted the pc several times with 1 terrabyte connected / not connected, safemode etc. and its doesnt want to go back to normal. Vista also says i need to format the volume. I dont want to lose my data on it.
It is almost as if vista cached the 160HDD partition setup to the 1 terrabyte HDD.
Is there some corrupted file somewhere or something that has changed? or a utility that i can use?
I have Vista Ultimate 64 SP1 installed.
Thanx
