MBR Partition Table

[HawaiianTim]

When using Partition Magic to create a new fat32 Partition
in my usb external drive X: (which is ntfs) it locked up.
I let it run overnight to see if it would fix itself but
finaly had to cancel the operation. P.M. shows critical
error #46 seek error, also error #7 user canceled
operation pop-up. Windows sees the drive on my computer as
raw. Command prompt will not do chkdsk or scandisk on that
drive,Active unerase.exe from "Active" reads the files in
dos fine. I could probably copy to another location and
save data but have not tried yet. It seems that my problem
is the MBR Partition Table not in sequential order. can
any one tell me a way to fix, and if I format the drive
Will active unerase still be able to read. These are all
fairly new procedures for me. Thanks; Tim

Ouch, guess that's why some call it Partition Tragic. You can rebuild
the MBR by using dos and typing FDISK /MBR or using the Recovery Console
on the Windows XP CD and typing FIXMBR. There may also be a utility in
PM that allows you to rebuild the MBR.
