Where can I find a FREE program to repair a boot sector on one of the partitions of my hard drive? Drive info FAT16 Partiton Table - Not Found Boot Sector - Not Found FATs - OK Root Directory - OK Sub Directories - OK The only apps I have found to fix this junk, went me to pay lots of money. Any Help??

And you feel that the programers who wrote these excellent programs don't deserve to be paid? Sucks to be you. Format and re-install.

If it's a FAT16/32 partition, type this: FDISK /MBR. This'll restore a default master boot record and will save your files.

FDISK /MBR Will not work, as the drive can not be read, nor can I do it from another drive. c:> FDISK /MBR e: Fail on INT 24 ------------- ³id³PD³Vol³Type, description³Format ³Creator ³Label Info ³BM-Name ³ Size Mb³´ ³03³ 3³!E:³Prim 06 FAT16 ³none ³fdisk ³ ³ ³ 2047.3³ ³04³ 3³ F:³Log 06 FAT16 ³FAT16 ³MSDOS5.0³MP3 ³ ³ 2047.3³ ³05³ 3³ G:³Log 06 FAT16 ³FAT16 ³MSDOS5.0³TEMP ³ ³ 2047.3³ ³06³ 3³ H:³Log 06 FAT16 ³FAT16 ³MSDOS5.0³data ³ ³ 1882.6³ I hope that you can read that?

Oh well, As I could not fix the boot sector, I formated the drive and then used Lost & Found (PowerQuest) to recover the files. The drive works fine and all the files recovered where ok, it just took a bit of time. Topz

This may be too late but fore anyone that is looking for a good program that fixs partitions and such look for a program called "ResQdisk" I cant think of the address at the top of my head but I will post it when I can find it ;) it has a free demo period of 30 days so that shouldnt be a problem like the free trials make sense anyhow who says that you cant just put your bois back in time and pretend that its 1998 all over again lol They thought the y2k would be a problem joke was on them alll the money the spent
