Partition Table Corruption
The reason I would like to move Vista to the C: partition is that Vista insists on depositing various things on the C: drive even though its home is on H:. That's why I can't simply wipe the C: drive and go through about 20 hours of re-installation. What's already there as put there by Vista would be wiped out.

Fix corrupt NTFS partition?
I'm trying to fix what looks like a corrupt NTFS partition on a HP Media center PC.

For Kent W. about XP on 2nd partition
After an abortive attempt to install an evaluation linux os on a second physical hard drive, I have a (semi) corrupted partition table on that drive. Originally it had a FAT32 (backup, bootable) XP installation, an NTFS Data Drive (accessible from my master XP installation) and an 8Gb free space for the new OS.

Second, an extended partition

Move Vista to different partition
The fdisk man page says there are 4 primary parts and one of these may be an extended partition. From that I thought there should be some way to tag one of the 1-4 as an extended. it is , but not in the same step. An extended partition is a primary partition with specific rules.
