Hello all,

    I have a drive with a bad partition table.  It is partitioned into a 12GB
and a 1GB (13.6GB Drive.)  I can get to and somewhat use the Primary Partition,
but I can't access the second.  Primary is a FAT32 and extended is a FAT16.

I tried Norton Disk Doctor.  It tells me what the problem is, but can't fix it.
I also loaded up a real old copy of Partition Magic and it can tell me what the
problem is but doesn't offer to fix it (Norton fixes it an fails.)

Anyone know of a program that will fix it?  As I said I can get to almost all of
the data on the Primary but none on the extended.

Thanks,
Rob
