I have a 3.2GB Laptop HDD but it won't work as expected. I cannot partition it, format it, run it, do anything with it. There is a probvllem with the partition table. What can I do?
Try booting it with a Win98 startup disk and do a "FDISK /MBR". This fixes the master boot record and leaves your data in tact. (Some boot managers use MBR though - they will get wiped out. If that happens use Disk Director or FDISK to set the partion you wish to boot from active).
It works in XP. Trust me, I used it many times. That's one of the tools I pack with me when I go to a friend's house who is having problems with their Windows XP OS.
