I seem to have bad luck with multiple partitions on one drive. I have a 160 gb hdd
that was partitoned with one approx 137gb partition with windows xp. It was working
fine. I decided to partition the remaining space which was something like 25gb. I
did it from windows xp in the disk managment snap-in. It worked fine until I formatted
the new 25gb partition and assigned the page file to this drive. I had not rebooted
before formatting the new drive and I believe the format is what screwed up the drive.

I have tried to chkdsk /r but it took forever and then crashed.

Anyone have any expierence with messing up partitions? I believe windows improperly
sized the partition over part of the original C partition.

I really hate logical drives. I always seem to have some sort of data loss with them..
