Hi,
I have a packard bell system with (atm) 4 partitions,
1: PQ SERVICE
2: SYSTEM RESERVED
3: UBUNTU
4: UNALLOCATED (ive tried NTFS and FAT32 here)
the system reserved holds my original windows recovery management tool which will load the system back to factory defaults and when I had WINDOWS as my 3rd drive this worked no problem.
Since i've now removed windows and put ubuntu as the 3rd drive however it will no longer work.
I can boot in to the recovery management window but when it comes to selecting the destination for the recovery to be installed to, there are no options. I am thinking this is because it is expecting /dev/sda3 to be the windows drive and because it isn't doesn't like it.
If I move remove the ubuntu drive and use the space to be NTFS (which would then make it /dev/sda3) I will then lose grub meaning I wont be able to get in to the recovery management console at all.
Has anyone got any ideas? Driving me mad! Just want to get it back to windows so I can sell it :)
