Hi. I'm using WinHex to recover my corrupted harddrive (the partition table appears to be corrupted). WinHex now sees my partition (thankfully, it itself wasn't damaged) and can browse though directory structure and see files' contents. Windows, though, says there is no filesystem on that partition (chkdsk says filesystem RAW). WinHex, therefore, refuses to open it as a logical drive (so that I can see if Windows gets the MBR's parameters right). I suspect that what I wrote in the partition table might be at fault: the drive starts with an empty 10Gb partition, and then comes a 110Gb partition that I'm recovering. Because the start CHS and end CHS parameters in the partition table are limited to 3 bytes, I justed fill 0xFFFFFF for values that don't fit in, so that it would only pay attention to the logical sector number and the length. Is this the right way to do this? Might this be the cause? | ||

It seems you are using the full version of WinHex, but for some reason I cannot find you in the customer database. |
