My PC is running on W98SE. And, somehow the hard disk is giving problem now. Once started the PC, it appeared that INVALID PARTITION TABLE and hang.

I tried to use the fdisk /mbr command but still not able to get in. Originally my hdd has two partitions, both is showing NON-DOS from fdisk display now.

Also, try to put this harddisk in to a workable pc as a slave hdd, couldn't access into it.

I guess it is because of unable to read the boot sector of the hard disk (due to missing partition table).

Now, I need your help to resolve this problem.

Please assist.
