I don't know how to force FDISK to set this correctly (or even fix this). http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/fdisk.htm "/X Do not use LBA partitions." (so it does know about LBA sometimes) "[/SPEC:'type#'] Specifies the partition type number." (maybe this works??) '/SMBR [drive#] Saves the current MBR on 'drive#', into a file called "boot.mbr".' (that could be useful) ... But anyways, a quick double-check does show that BootMgr can "set partition id" (hex), if needed. IIRC, that's the way that I manually corrected mine, years ago. http://freedos.sourceforge.net/software/?prog=bootmgr There are presumably other ways too (wDE ??), but I don't know offhand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
