The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

NTFS Partition issue

Asked by fmonroy in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: number, 4, 1537

Hi, let me please explain structure first:

in this disk there are 3 partitions in this order: FAT(400 MB), FAT32(1,545MB), NTFS(17,148 MB).
DOS 6.22, Win 98 SE, Win XP Pro SP1 respectively.

XP was unstable so i decided to reinstall OS. But i had not enough free space to backup data so cleaning folders and files manually was an option. I have PartitionMagic 8.0 in Win 98 partition so i loaded it and then did a browse over NTFS partition.

Then i was deleting some folders and files, but it was slow as hell so i decided to rename some folders as windows and program files to delete after installation this way preventin mixing with fresh installation.

The problem appeared when i renamed a folder named "Volume" or something simmilar, then the application crashed (where do you want to crash today?) and when i reloaded browser, the list was empty. When i run "check for errors", at about 30% it return error #1537: "File number greater than 4 billion", and when i click OK check window closes.

The question is: do you have any idea how to recover partition structure?

Some strange behavior: system boots perfectly in Win 98 (im writing from here) but when i try to boot from XP Pro CD it hangs before that any message appears at screen, so i think the installation can not read disk information correctly, then hangs.

Thanks in advance.
