Partitiontable repair???

[rstweb]

How can I repair the partitiontable of the harddisk?
I have the problem that a partition has a size of -2055MByte. Other partitions are deleted.

This is so because I used the program Powerquest Drive Image 5.0 and I moved a partition from one harddisk to another harddisk. When I started my system new i saw that there ware less partitions than before. Than I looked at the partitiontable I found the following entries (shown by xFDisk):

Size System Type Status
1) 3075MB FAT32 Primary Hidden
2) 2032MB FAT16 >32 Primary Active
3) 2228MB FAT32 Logical N/A
4) 3075MB FAT32 Logical N/A
5) 2738MB FAT32 Logical N/A
6) 2385MB N/A Logical Free
7) -2385MB FAT32 Logical N/A
8) 6315MB N/A Primary/Logical Free

If you sum all sizes you have the whole size of 19463MByte. But the Harddisk has a size of 20654MByte. Where are the 1191MByte? 😕 ?
The correct Partitiontable have to look like this:

Size System Type Status
1) 3075MB FAT32 Primary Hidden
2) 2032MB FAT16 >32 Primary Active
3) 2228MB FAT32 Logical N/A
4) 3075MB FAT32 Logical N/A
5) 5122MB FAT32 Logical N/A
6) 5122MB FAT32 Logical N/A

Can somebody help me, how I can repair my partitiontable?

Thanks a lot.

Bye

Ok, here is what I'm guessing without further information. The partition you restored from another drive was placed in area 5 and was 2385MB instead of 5122MB leaving a slack space of the difference. This area can be manipulated inside Drive Image to resize or add to other partitions. You really need to be viewing it from inside Drive Image to see how it views it, so you can get a better picture of what you need to do.
