The fix was to make NT >(or DOS) to run it's own fdisk to resrtre the flag correctly. >fdisk /mbr does nothing, 'cause MBR is OK! try just starting fdisk >in dos and exit without chnaging anything. I tried that and it tells me : "Error reading fixed disk" But I still can read data on drive C: under DOS !! I also tried to toggle the bootable flag with linux fdisk and then try to launch dos fdisk again but it did the same : "Error reading fixed disk" Do you have an idear ?
