So I found a very nice free sector editor PTSDE104 (a simpler useable Norton disedit) and:

I copied Sector 0 to sector 6 and now fosfsck doen't not complain anymore :))

I checked and the next sector: I modified a random byte in sector 7 and fosfsck does not detect it, so all is neede is 1 sector !

Now HOW IS WORKING ON SYS ??? This should be reatively easy to fix, or Im I mistaken?

please help...
