Default Problem with accessing a partition

Thanks for your comments and hints.
I'm afraid that it's impossible to make such a conversion in Partition Magic.
I have to apologize for informing you incorrectly about the D: partition.
In fact, both the D: and E: partitions are 0B (Hex).


This sounds like a manifestation of the IO.SYS bug I mentioned. You
have CHS partitions in an LBA type extended partition. This is not
necessarily invalid (although a bit silly) but in your case I'd say it
is actually wrong because they all exceed the 8.4GB barrier.

You could try either a modified IO.SYS or use a disk editor program to
change the partition types from 0x0B to 0x0C.

Cheers,
