FC2/WinXP partition problem (dual boot)

[Christoffer Soerensen]

Hi,

I have read the following guide to the dual boot problem:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html

and tried the solution but the sfdisk command fails with:


"
[My partition table...]

Warning: bad partition start (earliest 232332031)

sfdisk: bad input"

I have tried both with -H255 og -H240 but with no luck. I dumped my 
partition table into a text file and removed the warnings as is stated 
in the guide.

I tried to switch to LBA and WinXP CAN boot, but the problem is my 
second NTFS partition which cannot be read (by Knoppix, the FC2 rescue 
CD, mdk9.2 rescue, WinXP)! This is a 85 GB partition filled with data so 
I would like to resurrect it.

Does anybody have an idea of what's wrong ?
