Partition error ! Help !

[Guest]

Greetings,

Partition Magic says that my laptop primary partition starts in sector 2 when it is supposed to start in sector 1 so it will not create another partition for me.

I am trying to create another partition on the drive so I can backup (with Ghost) an image of the primary partition to the 2nd partition.

Can I fdisk /mbr to fix this problem or do I have to fdisk, format and reinstall everything ? Are there any other solutions ?

If you Fdisk you will have to delete the previous partition to make room for the 2 new ones. that means losing all the data you have. Laptops are really tweakie like that. they always have strange errors, thats why i refuse to buy one still.
