Hanging_at_'VERIFYING_POOL_DATA'_screen.

[EndoKrine]

I had a 9 gig big partition initially. Then i used partition magic to condense the partition. I noticed it created 70mgs of unpartitioned space in front of c:/.
So the hard drive structure looked like this: 70meg unpartitioned then 5 gig c:,thn 4gig of unpartitioned space.

Not quite sure why pm8 created that 70 meg unpartitioned space so i merged the 70meg with the5 gig c: partition.

I succesfully finished it, and when i restarted it wont go past the 'verifying pool data' dos screen. Ihave tried to use win2k cd to recover windows but no luck.

Any ideas on how i can fix this?

i used win2k boot cd to use recovery console

then i typed fixmbr then i got this error
"This computer appears to have a non standard or invalid mbr...."

so i didnt proceed

then i tried fixboot... it created it and then i restarted and it DIDNT fix the problem...

Any other ideas?

Seem like my mbr is nonexistant

Hello,

I'd try to backup the data on another system by mounting your hd as slave (other computer). I am quite afraid you're hd's won't recover unless you completely format it.

If you ran ntfs :

Have you read the warnings provided by pm8 on ntfs partitioning ? Actually, I don't understand why they let people attempt to partition ntfs systems. PM is crap to me. My advice : just never ever re-partition a ntfs disk but by reformatting it. The cost of ntfs stability is strictness in its handling.

Good luck.
