Hi! Returning to the list... So you have tried: > 1: Different disk managers (SpfDisk, Partition Magic, Power Quest, > Fdisk, Fdisk in BasLinux(it can create partitions on all hdd, > but can not mount it)
SPFDISK has this menu option "setup support FAT32" which you can enable. Also, when you edit partitions, you can use "modify ID" and use values 0c to 0f: 0c is FAT32 with LBA 0e is FAT16 with LBA (for smaller partitions) 0f is extended with LBA (like 05 but with LBA) The point about extended partitions is that you have at most 1 of them among the first 4 (primary) partn and they in turn contain further partitions. Note that normally after changing partition ID or any other property, you have to format that partition again and the contents are lost, but you already know that from earlier experience. I do not know baslinux, but you may want to try some Linux GPARTED boot disk... That lets you graphically modify partitioning, in some cases even modify in a way which does not cause content loss. > 2. Changing Bios settings: LBA, cylinders/heads/... If your BIOS actually mentions LBA, then you will not need Ontrack or similar software, because the BIOS already has LBA support inside :-) Regards, Eric PS: The FreeDOS kernel supports both FAT32 and LBA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
