Big HD Boot Record Problem
Michael Chan
Version: NU95 version 3.07 (Chinese Version)
Operating system: Windows 95 OSR 2
I have a IBM Deskstar 10.1GB UDMA HDD, which has a FAT32 partition.
However, whenever I run the NDD in either Windows or DOS, I get the error
message that there is a invalid Disk Table in Boot Record. By now, if I let
the NDD to fix it, it will attempt to write something into my boot record
and that is a risk that I cannot boot up the system if there is something
wrong in this procedure. What the strange that I have tried to use other
disk diagnosis and repair utilities to do the checking, no error is found
in my boot record. Therefore, I have to write this message here to ask what
is the next step I can do. If there is really an error in boot record, why
other utilities cannot find it out? Thank you very much in advance.
Bye!
