Hello Leslie, The short answer is No. And it would need more than a miracle to salvage the situation if the partition information is lost. Sorry if I broke your hopes. But to look at the brighter side of things : 1) You would never have learnt so quickly so much about Windows/FreeBSD/things to do/things not to do had you not run chkdsk 2) Niue is a beautiful country with a great landscape to cheer up even the most regrettable scenario Regards Manish Jain +91-99620-10329 On 05-Nov-12 14:27, Leslie Jensen wrote: > > > Manish Jain skrev 2012-11-04 12:37: >> >> >> >> >> >>> Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 16:41:45 +0530 >>> From: bourne.identity@hotmail.com >>> To: leslie@eskk.nu >>> CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >>> Subject: Re: My freebsd partition changed by Windows chkdsk (Leslie >>> Jensen) >>> >>> >>> On 04-Nov-12 13:17, Leslie Jensen wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> Manish Jain 2012-11-02 19:18: >>>> >>>>> 1) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD, enter the slice editor and >>>>> change the type of your FreeBSD slice back to 165.
