We have in our Department at Massey University a PC-AT clone which came from another University and was partitioned using SpeedStor as it contains an 80 MB hard disk. The disk partition table was trashed by a power outage , and rebuilt using Norton Disk Doctor 4.5 Advanced. However , this has marked both partitions as being DOS partitions , and we need wish to re- connect the SpeedStor partition if possible. Of course , the SpeedStor main program is not on the disk !! Trying the values E1 and E4 for the partition identifier ( gleaned from the InfoPlus source listing ) produce the message : SpeedStor(TM) II Hard Disk Device Driver Version 1.07 Copyright(C) Hexis Design 1985, 1986. All rights reserved Drive unit 1 , Partition 1 --error-- Partition is Unusable If anybody knows the correct partition table type byte , or can guess what the problem is , could you please respond ( EMail is probably best ). We can restore the data off myriad floppies , but we would rather not !!
