I used FDISK off Tom'sRootBoot floppy which reported the partition not
on a cylinder boundary. The partition reported as not properly bounded
is... an extended partition under [MS] NT4 sp6.
The active [boot] partition is C:\ [FAT16 LBA] and the extended
partition contains D:\,E:\,F:\ [FAT32 LBA]. D,E & F are what I can't
access, I guess because the extended partition is not properly aligned,
though the drive will bootup.
I also used L-Soft's 'Active Data Recovery' program to initially recover
the partitions [which ran under DOS6.2].
To further reveal all I have learned, DOS6.2 FDISK reports the
partitions as 'nondos'.

V-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Linux floppy's fdisk more specifically regarding the misaligned
partition says:
Device
Start End Blocks Id
/dev/hda2
257
4866
37026360
Extended
"partition 2 does not end on a cylinder boundary"
phys (1023,144,63) should be (1023,254,63)
^------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given all the foregoing, what would you change and to what would you
change it ?
Gratefully,
Courtney
