I have a hard drive that is running BL3 and BL2 perfectly.
But when I try to run fdisk with either one (cfdisk) to look at the 
partition information with 'p' (print):

FATAL ERROR:  Bad signature on partition table

I presume we partitioned this with PQMagic a while ago.

On the web I found someone else reporting this error using cfdisk on a 
triple-boot system, where all the OSes work fine, and they suggested using 
pdisk (-pdisk?) instead, as being more reliable.


Pdisk appears to be for macs only.

Has anyone else had this FATAL ERROR with cfdisk?
This is a 3.2GB drive (says fdisk, anyway).
