I tryied using a disk sevtor editor to return the partition table to ita
correct (DOS OS/2) order but still had to deleat my Linux partitions after this
OS/2 fdisk and Partion magic worked on my first drive (hda)
to sort out my third drive (hdc) having OS/2 fdisk working I simply deleated
and then created a partition on this disk ad this disk has my swap partion for
OS/2 no data was lost and this rebuilt the partiion table correctly and
Partition magic recognised it without error 110 and 116
