I seem to have corrupted something on my first hard drive. Although I can
at least access OS/2, nothing else is accessible, including a large fat 32
partition I use for storing Drive Image backups.

Partition Magic just says there is a Drive Partition Error, and it does
not see any of my partitions, including OS/2.

Dfsee shows all my partitions, but it gives many error messages, for
example:

No partition marked active on first disk.
Extended partition extends beyound MBR extended-container.
Partition does not start on Head-1
Start of this partition overlaps the previous one.
Data corruption possible when using both partitions.
etc, etc.

I have never had a situation before where Partition Magic couldn't at
least see the partitions.

Is there a way to trouble shoot this?

Thanks,
Sandy
