Partition Magic probably will not help, but it includes PARTED.EXE a partition table editor (but be super careful!). Unfortunately PARTED is old and does not support access to cylinders above 1024. PM also includes PARTINFO.EXE which will give you a report on what is wrong. This supports > 1024. But best is to download XOSL from http://www.xosl.org, put it on a floppy, and install it. It is free. When it is running, ^P will bring up the Ranish Partition Manager which will show you exactly what is illegal (marked in red) about your partition table(s), and lead you through the repair process. Very simple. -- Ron. [au]
