Unallocated Harddrive?
My whole harddrive become unallocated but the funny thing I can run Ubuntu Linux under demo mode. I can see from the Gparted Partition Manager the whole harddrive is unallocated. I used to have 4 partitions, the C drive is Windows XP and the rest D, E, F drive are just data. I would like to restore the partitions as used to but I am afraid if I create new partition table, it will erase all the partition and I lost all data. Perhaps anyone can help me and do have good suggestion? O yes, my DVD-ROM is also not working and I run this on laptop Benq. Thank you. Thanks for the replies. Do you think I can recover the files if I replace the HDD now into slave and put a new one as master? Will I be able to read the slave drive and see all partitions? Thanks.

if you create a new partition table it will be new and blank with no data. if Gparted is not seeing it something went wrong. Did you not mess around with the The ubuntu installation disk and somehow manged to remove your windows partitions ? I think in this case you are stuffed, you can reformat the drives and then use the drive as a slave with Filescavenger to try recover important files (Unfortunately)

SBSP is pretty much right. It has happened to a number of computers I have attempted to fix. Most of them did not partition the drive properly or was not activated properly, causing it unallocated and sometime unreadable. Good luck to you I have tried using many different file scavenger software, most of them has a hard time picking it up. Worst case scenario you need to take it to a HDD recovery specialist. That means, lots of $$$

Vista problem?
got a laptop recently, and is running Vista Home Premium... everything was fine until the lasat 2 days... i was installing office 2007 on it, but somehow, an error occured... thus i cancelled the installation, which requires me to use end process in task manager... after restarting the laptop, i found out that it is slower than it was to be (eg takes time to load the content in a folder/thumb drive...), at startup the hard disk led blinks for quite some time (>1min), and after that there's a lot of unexplained hard disk activity... such activity lasts for abt 5 sec and takes place every 3 sec, even when it is idle... anyone out there knows what happened to my laptop??

BenQ joybook lite u126
why my Bluetooth/WiFi light indicator is ALWAYS lighted up?
i'm using laptop benQ joybook lite u126 and was wondering why my Bluetooth/WiFi light indicator is ALWAYS lighted up even though i turned off both the Bluetooth and Wifi. Is it Something wrong with the driver? This causes my battery to run out fast. When I try to use my mobile phone to search for bluetooth device, it cannot detact my laptop...but my laptop always automatically connect to my wifi even though i turned it off. Any idea? PS: there's no physical button on my laptop to turn on/off. i have to do this via a few clicks on the software so i suspect maybe something wrong with the wifi/bluetooth driver? could it be?
