Hi,
I have a friend that is having a bit of trouble with his 2 tb drive. Windows is not recognizing the filesystem and it won't let it use the drive until a format is performed. For what I gathered the drive had only NTFS on it.
I asked him to make a screenshot of his MBR using a hex editor in order to spot some problems.
Two things crossed my mind:
1. boot indicator
2. system indicator
Shouldn't the ntfs partition be 07? And the boot indicator 00 or 80?
Please take a look at the screenshot and see if anything looks suspicious.
If it can't be solved manually, what tools do you recommend on using?
Thank you
