Is there any way to fix a busted partition table? I have Linux installed on the primary master drive, /dev/hda. I have a seconday IDE drive, /dev/hdc, a 40 gig Maxtor, containing data. The partitions on /dev/hdc are in FAT32 format. There is also some raw space on the drive.
I thought I would do some partiton creation and resizing on /dev/hdc using partition magic, but it complained that the partition table was busted, something about start and end. I tried GNU parted and it gave me this when I did a "print" cmd: Error: Invalid partition table on /dev/hdc - wrong signature 1 How do I fix this? What surprises me is that I am able to mount all the partitions on /dev/hdc and access all the files there. - greg strockbine
