Re: No partition table
I have also read the referenced mini-HowTos.
Additional info - the Maxtor drive came with a utility
called EZ-Drive, which is still active during boot. I have
a syslog entry which reads:
Partition check:
hda: [EZD] [remap 0->1]
Do I need to overwrite the first sector to restore
the MBR? I can still boot from floppy, but I'm at
a loss as to how to restore my hard drive so I can
boot directly from it.
Thanks for any help.
