I've got an odd problem with my partition, and as far as I can tell the best option is to format it, but I wanted to ask someone as it's a big hard drive and copying all the data off of it that's necessary and reinstalling windows on it is quite a process with all the programs i'd need to reinstall.
According to Linux, the partition doesn't exist. I've tried various other partition tools and they all seem to say that there's some sort of problem with the partition table. Spinrite says that the partition table says that the partition is larger than the actual hard drive. Acronis Disk Director says that it can't do anything with the disk. Vista won't do anything with the partition (I've tried shrinking it, and it says it's corrupt). Does anyone have any ideas on fixing the partition table in this situation?
