Hi there,
I had a problem like this with a NT formatted HD. The following Debug Script
will help you. You'll need a Bootable Disc with the Program > DEBUG.EXE on
it. Boot the Machine and start DEBUG. Hack in the following Script :
A:\>DEBUG
- f 200 L200 0
- a 100
xxxx:0100 mov ax,301 (ignore segment:offset values at left)
xxxx:0103 mov bx,200
xxxx:0106 mov cx,1
xxxx:0109 mov dx,0080
xxxx:010C int 13
xxxx:010E int 3
xxxx:010F (Press ENTER an extra time here)
- d 100 LF
xxxx:0100 B8 01 03 BB 00 02 B9 01-00 BA 80 00 CD 13 CC
(make sure that hex values match above line before proceeding)
(if values do not match, type Q and start over)
- g=100
(ignore register display)
- q (quits back to DOS)
>>> FDISK should now show "No partitions defined".
Now, start over and create your Partitions with FDISK.
bye
