    I was tinkering around with gparted and accidently took up the boot tag on my main OS (Vista). So I'm back on XP and I can no longer see that last partition.


    Do I have to give a certain tag or something?

    Also I could never see Vista partition from XP (but vice versa worked), as it was an OEM installation or whatever

    Well way to go, you just messed up everything now didnt you lol jk. You could probably use a data recovery software to get the files back.

    Sorry I wasn't clear.

    Ok, I can see it in my original Vista partition, but not my XP partition ;)
