Hi
First 4096 bytes of the partition is a big loss. I have debugged FAT and
as far as I know, 0th sector is boot sector, what follows it is two copies
of FAT and then root directory follows.
If you could send me the boot sector of the partition, then I might help
you. But I need time for that. Contact me personally.
Otherwise use resque image created by utilities like norton or so.
Reply back.
Bye
