Markus Loeffler
somehow it crashed while in the process of moving data
now it leaves me with a partition i cannot access anymore. however, i want
to get out as much data as is possible.
partition type is shown as 3c
can i tell pm7 somehow to resume the process?
how can i get data out?
thx

You should run it only in DOS. The risk of crashing is to high in
Windows.
Did you move the partition or did you just resize it?
Did you try to make it smaller or bigger ?
If you made it smaller and the partition was fragmented, data could be
completely lost cause in this case PartitionMagic would move data in
the resize process.
Can't you access the partition at all or is a part of the data still
accessible ?

Yep, that's an XP question.

shuts the system down and conversion takes place at next boot. If you will
try to access the disk in XP愀 recovery interface, it will most probably
display the contents, although you will get "access denied" error when
switching directories. Try to use PM7愀 rescue disks. It has happenned to me
also, it said that the partition is safe to recover, but it wasn愒. I had to
reformat. The rescue disks in fact contain a DOS version of PM7, so this
probably all you can do with it. Good luck, but rather say bye bye to your
data.

well actually it was pretty well defragmented, with lots of space at the
end. as i assume that pm moves data from the end first, the rest should be
completely there. it's just that i can't access it.

no, partition does not even get a drive letter and is shown as type 3c(hex)

how do you get there?

Do a search on www.powerquest.com , in support section, and search for
"pqrp".
I found the following procedure. Hope it helps !!
Solution: Fixing a PQRPI with PTEDIT
To fix a PQRPI with PTEDIT:
1. Run PTEDIT.
2. Locate the PQRP (partition type 3C). (If the PQRP occurred on a logical
partition, click on GoToEPBR to locate the correct partition.)
3. Click in the Type field where the 3C is located.
4. Click Set Type. A list of available partition types will be displayed.
5. Select the appropriate partition type (e.g., FAT32 if the partition type
was FAT32 before the PQRPI, etc).
6. Save the changes and exit.
If the system does not boot properly at this point, run a directory of the
drive and make sure that it does not have one entry denoted as DYN_ROOT.
This simply indicates that the original root directory has been relocated
and in most cases can be restored. If the directory appears as ASCII or
unrecognized characters, the partition is likely corrupt and cannot be
recovered.
Note: If the directory appears as a DYN_ROOT, do not SYS the drive.
Modifications made to the drive while in this state can affect the
probability of recovery. Contact PowerQuest Technical Support.
Problem Description:
Fixing a PQRPI with PTEDIT
Problem Description:
Partition type 3C
PQRPI
Problem Environment:
PTEDIT
PartitionMagic
PartitionMagic Pro
VolumeManager
ServerMagic
Cause(s) of the problem
If an operation has been interrupted, or a power outage occurs during the
execution of a PartitionMagic process, the partition type may appear as a
PQRPI (PowerQuest Recoverable Partition Indicator). PQRPIs occur when the
partition type indicator could not be returned to its original value. In
most cases the data is recoverable by returning the partition type indicator
to its original value. However in some cases, depending on when the
operation was interrupted, the data is corrupt and cannot be recovered
gracefully.

Good Luck !!

i managed to get full access with data recovery using win2k server and doing
checkit (as win2k still could access the drive)
it rebuild everything (index and security id) for the files and now all can
be accessed
however, winxp doesnt recognize the partition, so i will try what pq wrote

How about Linux fdisk. It can set the partition type.

utility called beeblebronx allowed me to change the necessary value in the
epbr to get win xp to recognize the drive again!
thanx for all your feedback!
