Organization: Hip-Hop BBS, Sunnyvale, CA (408-773-0768) Date: Mon, 3 May 1993 20:59:04 GMT Message-ID: <C6GyAG.L9r@hip-hop.suvl.ca.us> Lines: 25 This morning, I went to the computer and found that the 386bsd partition was gone! :( Apparently, my brother had done something with DOS 6.0's defrag, found some errors, and suddenly the FDISK reports only one partition on the disk. Basically, I don't think that the filesystem is gone - I just can't get to it. I tried Norton, but I can't seem to get it to display the partition table (not sure which sector it is). Basically, all I think I need to do is create another partition, and then change the partition ID to what 386bsd wants (165) but I'm not sure where that byte is. If this has happened to others, am I going about it the right way? Assistance will be appreciated. -- David E.
