Getting back partition tables

[Guest Steve Cousins]

I have a disk SATA disk that has two NTFS partitions on it. The disk

was connected to a 3Ware 9550SX controller and set up as a "Single"

drive. This seems to have done something to the drive such that now when

I put it into a Windows 2000 machine it is said to be a basic drive that

is "Unallocated" (no partitions).

 

I have run FinalData Enterprise 2.0 on it and I can access both

partitions and get most of the data off. The problem is that some of the

file names are listed with question marks in them and I think it has to

do with this being a disk that was used in a Chinese computer (WinXP)

and possibly the characters are not recognized by Win2000 or possibly it

is a FinalData problem. When I try to save these files it gives me a

message saying that a file with that name cannot be created on the

destination drive. These files can be renamed and saved but there are

hundreds or even thousands of these and it would be very tedious to do this.

 

So, it seems that since the data and partition tables are there I just

need to do something to the MBR to tell it where the partitions start or

some such thing.

 

Can anyone point me to how this can be done?

 

Thanks,
