Hello All. I upgraded my home computer hardware and I removed the Dynamic Drive Overlay (by Disk Manager 956a) that was installed on my hard drive to make my old PC recognize the large drive. When I did this the old partition table vanished and I could not recreate it even if I noted the start and end cylinder of my old partition table. From what I understand Disk Manager created an offset of 63 sectors on my drive so that it can install and protect itself (against fdisk /mbr). I believe that even if I rebuilt the former partition table, the 63-sector offset prevents me from accessing the correct partitions. The data in my old drive is not really important but I am very much curious if there is a fix for it. Is there a partition tool that allows you to edit the partition table down to its sectors? If there is such, will correcting this offset on the partition table allow me to recover data or will the inodes also need to have the 63 sector offset also? Will reinstalling a new DDO fix this problem? The old Disk Manager program though does not allow you to install DDO without formatting the hard drive.
