To that partition, note only one 80 on disk as this marks active partition so you need to set 00 where Some computers need pqvxd.vxd to run PTEdit32.exeĪbout the DellUtility partition, after you use ptedit32 and change the DE to 06 and change the 80
Ptedit32 missing 32 bit#
Check inside d:\boot for a directory called recovery if there, delete it.Ībout PTEdit32.exe is a 32 bit program for windows and ptedit.exe is a DOS only program. Of course I knew I could rebuild the boot and the setautofailover Best I can remember, I deleted that and it went to the correct I think somewhere in the recovery it made an extra directory called recovery and in that directory Can't seem to remember what I did to fix it. I had a recovery problem like your talking about once. I'm currently trying to locate a (working) version of "PTEdit32.exe" OR "ptedit.exe" - neither version from seemed to be compatible with my system - so that I can follow your instructions in both your recent post and your post above. (Of course, the "DellUtility" partition is no longer bootable AND is now empty, having "lost" all of its files). And I guess that's because the "RECOVERY" partition is no longer bootable, although the files seem to be there. Īs for what's happening NOW, the F8 key on system boot does indeed bring up the "Advanced Boot Options" menu, with "Repair Your Computer" as the first option, but when I select it, the system simply boots to Windows anyway. As it happens, after some Googling, I ended up getting it from the same page and in the same manner (copy-n-paste) as you later described. Well, "Good Job" thanks to YOU! BTW, I read your recent post on where to get the "setautofailover.cmd", which would've been really useful to me, except that I needed it the night before in order to follow your instructions ASAP on my original critical problem, which is now fixed. If it needs repaired you will need to change its type and makeĪctive them system it with DOS then copy your Diag CD files to it then change every thing back the way they were. It is also hidden with ID as 0xDE and not active except when selected as above. The DellUtility is a DOS partiton at front of drive that you boot by selecting it from boot menu when you wish to run diagnostics on computer, but if the options allow you can give it a drive letter then you can see it again. usually when in disk management you left click on that partition it will have option, If only option is help, then the partition When you ran the setautofailover command it makes the partition hidden but if when using the F8 you have at the top Repair Your Computer, I don't understand what you mean about boot recovery, your other post said the F8 was working and you could get to advance repair system. I can always do that again, if necessary, because I haven't started "using" that partition yet. It would be perfectly OK if the "OS" partition were to get erased and/or (re-)formatted in the process, since I just (re-)formatted it yesterday and performed a Factory Restore/Recovery onto it. Is there any way to somehow "re-populate" the "DellUtility" partition - either from the supplied Dell "Drivers and Utilities" disc, or from some other source - and make it bootable, as it was originally? Separately, is there any way to make the "RECOVERY" partition bootable, as it was originally? (I also seem to have its files somewhere on the two "System Recovery" DVD's, if needed). But I'd kinda like to have the "original hard drive(s)" with the "original functionality", if possible. I don't think this is a "critical" problem, because I seem to be able to perform the functions of both partitions using: (a) the Dell "Drivers and Utilities" disc supplied with my system and (b) the two "System Recovery" DVD's that I created - from the "RECOVERY" partition, I guess - when I first set up the system.

Ptedit32 missing windows 7#
This is on a Dell Studio XPS 8100 system (now discontinued) running Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, with two 1-TB hard drives configured as a single 2-TB RAID 0 array. (However, the "RECOVERY" partition still seems to have all of its original files). Both partitions still exist and are their original sizes (41 MB and 12 GB, respectively), but neither one seems to be bootable any more, and the "DellUtility" partition somehow "lost" all of its original files. Through some chain of events that apparently involved installing Ubuntu onto a USB flash drive, the "DellUtility" and "RECOVERY" partitions on my hard drive somehow got messed up.
