Rebuilding Hard Drive Partition Table with BAD SuperBlock

April 5th, 2006, 18:21

Need to rebuild my Western Digital Hard Drive Partition Table after Linux Superblock problems.

Have tried to use a number of DOS Partition Table Editors but none have been able to remove all the Linux info.

This HD may have also used Norton DiskLock so parts may be encrypted.

Does anyone know of a Hard Drive DataBase with Partition Table Information for Western Digital am esp interested in the information for WD Caviar 21200.

Thanks

Ken

Try To Use MHDD Which Could Be Found Here: http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/
To Clear Mbr You Can Use Command ClrMbr (See Documentation)

much easier, i hope: fdisk.exe /mbr will clear your mbr record, keeping your data safe.

sorry, me again.
you also can use a recovery software like testdisk. its free and it worths a lot. it is capable to recover your table partition. then clear linux evidence.
