No you are right - I miscounted the digits in the original report.

I'm still dubious the partition table is involved unless you've since
booted Windows and the two have been overwriting bits of each other.

What tool created the broken partition table - do you know, and which OS
was installed first ?


the disk before was correctly booting linux and windows2000.
then i used the dos6.22 fdisk (?? unsure about the exact dos version)
to delete and recreate a partition. then a began a format /s and
interrupted hafway because it was too slow.
i am not sure that the partition i deleted with fdisk was the first of
the disk.
It was some time ago, i dont remember clearly.
