How Do You Recover An Active Partition In Vista?
An active, or live, partition in your Windows Vista computer is a partition that is being used by the operating system to host files. Repairing and recovering an active partition is necessary when it has become corrupt due to disk errors or hardware failure. Accomplish this by using the disk repair and recovery tools in the Vista operating system. Click “Start” and type “cmd” in the “Start Search” box. Right-click “cmd” and select “Run as Administrator.” Type “chkdsk x: /f” and press “Enter,” replacing “x” with the letter of the active partition to be recovered. Press “Y” to confirm. Restart the computer and the partition will be scanned and repaired as the computer loads.
