How does suspicious Unallocated logical partition shows up suddenly?
===========================================
I have a black screen during start up issue. I posted a thread (long story). I have Lenovo Z580 Laptop. I did not add any hardware or alter HDD configuration after factory install.
Win 7: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?
As this community, provided guidance on my thread. I created a Win 7 repair disk using another computer with Win 7, 64 bit.
With community help. I run the partition Wizard on this Z580 and leaned that a suspicious 201.87 MB Unallocated logical partition shown in Partition Wizard.
As this unallocated - 200 MB sitting as 5th partition and violates MBR characteristics and cause booting issue.
How does suspicious Unallocated logical partition shows up suddenly?
I have three(3) user logins in this laptop such as Admin, Local user1, Local user 2. The regular use of this computer was with Local User 1 primarily, that does not have admin rights to install/configure disk partition etc .If some "unauthorised" program as well be a game that was tried on this machine
- tried to create its own partition, failed and left the debries. Naturally it
should have tried to grab some space from the other legit partitions.
This suspicious Unallocated logical partition does shows up in DISKPART thru win 7 repair disk.
How does an "unauthorised" program/games alter the disk structure without Admin rights?
Did anyone one in this forum face such issues?
Thanks for sharing/helping.
Thanks for directing to Hardware & Devices. I hope someone will look into this issue to help this forum.
