I have an ACER notebook with a 120GB Harddisk, system running on Windows XP SP2, and default partitions are:
1st partition): 4GB – PQSERVICE (for running eRecovery,
2nd partition): C Drive – 56GB – Windows XP system “FAT32” (Marked as Active),
3rd partition): D Drive – 60GB – “FAT32” (Logical Drive).
Recently, I upgraded my harddisk to a 160GB size, and the eRecovery (PQSERVICE) partition unable to clone over. I have another 2 external USB harddisk 120GB and 100 GB, and so I tried to create only 1 single partition, 160GB size as C: Drive with NTFS, and the others 2 external disk as D: Drive and E: Drive.
I still need to use the Recovery Disc to reinstall the Windows XP and also additional preloaded softwares and applications.
Now, the problem is that after the recovery completed, my C: Drive shows as 160GB of “FAT32”. I know it will not work with certain Windows Updates. I convert the C: Drive from “FAT32 to NTFS”, and it works.
Lately, I realized that the system frequent hangs, despite I have the Maximum of RAM 4GB.
I run NTFS4DOS to check the partition, and it stated that my C: Drive partition Master File Table Corrupted, Checkdisk CHKDSK aborted. While the others 2 external harddisk partition are ok. My C Drive partition is working, but requent hangs.
Anyone knows what is happening, and how can I fix this “C: Drive partition Master File Table Corrupted, Checkdisk CHKDSK aborted.” problems?
Many Thanks.
