[QUOTE="Topper, post: 983460, member: 186250"] Not experimenting Evan, my friend's PC was not booting and would not go into repair mode, so I connected the drive as a USB drive to my laptop and repaired what I could with MS tools, there were a number of areas of damage that were repaired or marked as unusable but it still would not boot. The MBR was sitting on such an area of damage and I had to then repair the MBR with the OEM disk, but his CD rom was not working either and I did not have a spare SATA DVD/CD which further complication what should have been a simple fix, he uses USB flash drives all the time and it is his older PC which he rarely uses. It was when I was examining his drive I noticed all the partitions on mine. [USER=401397]@mickwig[/USER] [USER=325666]@Vipersan[/USER] [USER=402062]@Chris1979[/USER] perhaps I am not seeing straight but there are definitely three extra partitions and three unallocated amounts, but yes I have no intentions of doing anything with them but I just have never seen such a thing on a hard drive before [/QUOTE]
