Hi Eneles.
Forgive me for being a bit wary and seemingly questioning your good advice. The Win2000 machine on IDE-1 is a crucial developer machine and it takes a couple of days to reinstall everything from a format, so I am nervous of changing any low level stuff on the drive. The Win2000 drive works fine when I boot up to it. So, if it boots up fine can the partition table still be corrupt ? In this next step am I just going to run TestDisk in order to just test and see if there is anything wrong with the partition table ? Sorry to question you, but I can't afford to lose anything just now.
