Partition Problems

[[P][RO][CE][SS][OR]]

Ok, here is the problem. My friend decided to create a partition for linux onto his computer. So one of my other friends helped him do it. After a while he decided he didn't want the partition anymore, because it was a 20 gb and its taking up too much room. Then my a different friend said it would be easiest to download partition magic, and well thats when the dilemna starts to worsen. It seems as if the partition doesn't show up as a hard drive. I open the Partitioninfo from partition magic, and it shows this http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b308/half_ling_war3/partitioninfopic1.jpg

When I open up partition magic, it shows an error message. It isn't a instalaion error, but more of a different error.

I guess what I am asking is HELP...please.

Edit: If this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it admins/mods :)

there is a driver mapper option in Partition magic, when u change drive letter or resize a partition u need to conform the changes, thats what DriverMapper do.
and can u provide a Screeny of PartionMagic partition page.

partition magic was never anything more than a pain in the ass for me :dry:

so from what you say is there was no problem, besides some used space,
before PM entered the picture?
no disc errors, windows screaming bloody murder, failures of this & that, etc?

see if you can get another app to read the partitions,
(I would say Acronis Partition Expert), or,
get a Linux live distro (i.e. Knoppix) and see if you can safely remove the Linux partitions
you may get the same result, but maybe PM is just being a bitch
from what PM says you have ~945 or so overlapping sectors,
and I have never had a Linux partitioner do that to me

Can't you just insert a Windows disc and use it to format the Linux partition?
