Partition

Hi from France,

I need you to solve a bizarre problem.
The last year, I have partionned my HD of 1.2 GO in 500 MO and 538 MO.
Today, I need to retrieve my original HD of 1.2 GO.
So, I create a boot disk, I restart my PC, and I execute fdisk.
I delete the 2 logical drive in extended part.
When I want to delete the extended part, fdisk say me:
"Impossible, 2 logical drive in extended part."
When I return in menu "Delete extended part or logical" fdisk say me:
"No logical drive in extended part."
If I want to delete the primary dos part, I get:
"Impossible, there's an extended part with 2 logical drive".

What are you think of it ??

then use fdisk to recreate the partitions.  obviously, any data will be lost.

wow, that didn't format very well

what you see          what you type
-                     FCS:200 400 0
-                     RAX
AX 0000               0301
-                     RBX

this is all done after rebooting to MS-DOS mode or to a boot disk.
still not good, let me know if you don't understand the format.
