Need findpart help
I need help with findpart, below is a listing of findpart results. I am
seeking to restore disk 1 to two partitions, and disk 2 to 1 partition with correct usage of approx 9M. Had a power surge while loading operating system. Any help greatly appreciated.

Update: Disk 1 is now OK and all partitions are working fine. Disk 2 is also
visible, but the disk information under XP displays a single partition disk that is 10.1MB. Disk 2 is actually 20G. I do not know enough about partition tables to correct this problem. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks

There's actually (almost) one guy who can help you in this matter:
Svend himself. I've experienced something similar last Saturday (having problems during startup while PM was resizing and moving partitions) and the way he helped me through to get back all my precious data is really unbelievable! He was even willing to work on his Sunday to help me out of this problem! Trying to figure out yourself what it all means is almost not doable. His analyzing programs are also very powerful. However, you have to know how to use them! If you want to play sure, don't mess it up yourself and ask if he's willing to help you (which I don't doubt...). In the Google newsgroups, search for his name and you will find lots of triggers, meaning he's very willing to help people! HTH. "Phoenix" wrote in message ...

Can anyone provide me with a solution that will restore my MBR to the "BU"
line below? I used findpart to generate the output below and I am convinced that the second FAT is what I need to repair the hard disk and make my data accessible. Any help will be appreciated.

I hope the news message did not doublespace, it appeared textual correct
when I posted. Here it is again with only Disk 2 info. It is clear to me that the end cyl info must be "2433" before I can see the entire disk. I do not understand why item 11 reports "17", perhaps its the corruption of the MBR. If the MBR is set to zeros what restores it?

"Phoenix" wrote in message ... Can anyone provide me with a solution that will restore my MBR to the "BU" line below? The 'BU' says your bootsector is missing or bad, probably by something that caused Findpart to also find the false partition with ID 01. The # after Root size/Cluster number in FAT output indicate that your backup boot sector may not be correct either but that could also be a flaw in Findpart because of that missing original bootsector. That appears to be your problem, not the FAT(s), that appear to be correct. I used findpart to generate the output below and I am convinced that the second FAT is what I need to repair the hard disk and make my data accessible. Any help will be appreciated.
