The feature itself is buggy... Don't use it!

After searching for a good virus-scanner for WinDOS i found this info on
a
commercial homepage. The scanner found those errors of fdisk and users
were
advised to not let the software repair the found errors. Instead the
only
advice and final solution was to partition the 'defect' harddisk without
this fdisk feature - immediately. It was one page consisting only tips
about
this special problem. The site was serious and they remarked this with a
Microsoft statement ('don't use it'). Unfortunately i don't have this
adress, it was among the data i lost :-( But i'll check it again - so
maybe
i can post the adress in a few days... (if wanted - not Debian related).
Otherwise i'll send eMail to you directly...
