UPDATE: Problem is fixed. Used TestDisk to convert partition to Primary.
This resolved all problems, and windows booted without error.

I ran CHKDSK on a windows install CD, and i got this: http://imgur.com/Vc3g3qD
How do I turn the logical partition into a primary one? I can't seem to figure this out.

Thing is, this partition didn't have too much on it. I'm more worried about the OTHER partition that disappeared... I'm hoping I can find it once windows is back (Or, for all I know, I'm making it...

Can't. Windows won't boot, at all. When I turn on the machine (Without livecd), it tells me it cannot find a boot device. (Boot device not found, press enter. Or something like that.)

After running sudo ntfsfix on an NTFS partition that is supposedly broken, according to Gparted, i get this error:


Mounting volume... ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup_warn: magic: 0x00070007 size: 1024...

I think I royally up this time.

So here is the story:
Friend asks me to try and recover a RAW partition on HDD B. I try to recover it via TestDisk on HDD A, which is running windows 7. HDD A has...

Ok, so an update:

I ended up going through this tutorial: http://www.allaboutlinux.eu/remove-nouveau-and-install-nvidia-driver-in-ubuntu-15-04/
Which gave me a black screen, even the backlight...

From searching around, there is no "Nvidia Guidance" on deleting their drivers.
All i found was this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128113/how-do-you-remove-nvidias-proprietary-drivers
And i did...

Yes, I have used TTY, and yes, I have entered that command.

Update: if I go into recovery mode, I still cannot get a functional GUI. The failsafe graphics boot says it cannot detect my GPU settings, and that I have to do it manually.
What would the command...

Yes, but the fsck doesn't go away. I let it sit for an hour without change. Now, it flashes, screen turns off, turns back on, flashes, and repeats indefinitely.

I'll try recovery mode, and see...

I did use those in the repositories first... Thing is, none of them made any difference. The diagonal screen tearing persisted.

Still have the fsck message, except now it continuously flashes.

I did go by what Nvidia's site said. I didn't get the Beta or anything. Now I'm stuck without a GUI.

How do ignore the message? It shows up in white text on a black background, there is no cursor, and i cannot input any text. The only thing I can do is open up a TTY terminal.
I downloaded Nvidia's...

Ever since I began using Ubuntu on and off (about 8 years ago) I have always had graphics driver problems. Always. No matter what type of GPU(s) I had, always ended up coming here because it couldn't...

Thanks!

First off, not 100% sure if this is the right part of the forum (Was contemplating on posting under "Other OS's") so if it isn't, lemme know/move it to the correct location, thanks!

Ever since...

Made this account long time ago, and have found a Username I love since then.
Could my username be changed to: "RocketPenguin" , "MegaRocketPenguin" , "SprocketPenguin" ?
Thanks!

Sorry for late reply, haven't been able to look at them for the past few days. They are Eee PC Asus 1005ha netbooks.
Specs are as follows (From Newegg):

General
Brand
ASUS
Series
Eee PC...

They are all the same, so yes, they would be imaged.

And yes, I know about that. I went and installed 10+ Linux distros including lubuntu, Ubuntu, mint, etc. And they all lag/run with bugs/are too...

Helping the school's IT guy, and he has placed my on a task of re-purposing ~60 really old and slow Eee Asus Netbooks. I have found an OS (EasyPeasy) that runs really well on it, and would need help...

Runs, opens terminal, and closes. May run in background. How would i make a desktop icon? And for the other one?

Which script? All the ones i tried writing never stayed open, nor completed the task (Used things such as xterm -e and so on)

I would prefer scripts... I don't need custom icons, and for the scratchClient, i need to see it in terminal (For errors and such) Same goes with servoblaster.
