The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Bad parition table Plz help

Asked by redgoalsku in OS / 2 Operating System

Tags: , ,

Hi,

I have an 80gb hard drive which i have been using to test my partitioning ability! and i have to report i am not very good judging at what i have managed to do

at the moment when i fdisk and display partition info there is nothing there and the system stalls at this screen.

i mounted the drive to another win2k machine and this is the drive info reported by partition magic...

as you can see not looking very nice, if some kind soul could take a look at the info i have provided and tell me what to do next i would be most grateful, at this stage any data on the drive is not my first priority if it can be salvaged then great, but at the moment i just want to install win2k on 1 partition on the hard drive.
