Toasted partition table and can't do recovery or boot

**sirjoebob** · 02-02-2011 10:14 AM

Hello all. I accidentally ran "cgpt create" from root crosh and toasted my partition table. CR48 now will not boot and does not recognize official recovery drive. Please help. I have rendered this completely unbootable at this point.

Did you find any fix for this?

Uh.... yeah.... I finally got the recovery disk to run. I think I had the wrong version the first time. After that, I put Hexxeh's luigi BIOS on it so I can always get something to boot. I did't like having no options.

Could you elaborate? We have had a similar issue, and there seems to be nothing that works.
It just suddenly started working for you?

Why did you think it was the Partition table?

It stopped working after I ruined the partition table with "cgpt create".
Unfortunately I do not have further information because I just redownloaded the image and it started working. I think it may have been a bad download the first time.

I deleted all partitions when I tested installing windows 7 on mine, all I have to do is get a recovery usb from google and everything will be fine correct? Also what would happen if I flipped the switch from dev to no dev with windows 7 installed and no other partitions?
