Summary:  can't detect partitions when using "diskwizard"

Original Submission:  I'm using a program provided by my hard disk vendor 
called "Disk Wizard". Its installed in the MBR, but it seems that the partition 
table is hacked also.



When you boot the computer using the hard disk MBR, it will ask you for a 
floppy and boot it. A GRUB floppy will identify a hard disk with partitions 
normally here.



But, when you boot using a GRUB floppy _directly_, it will be unable to 
identify the partition:



grub> root (hd0,1)

Error 22: No such partition



However Linux, the kernel, is able to detect the partition when "diskwizard" is 
_not_ loaded. This is what is outputs when booting:



[...]

Partition check:

hda: [DM6:DD0] [remap +63] [3649/255/63] hda1 hda2

[...]



Please contact me (Robert Millan <zeratul2 at wanadoo dot es>) for any more 
information you need. I can get an image of my MBR if that helps.

uhm indeed, my vendor's disk prints information indicating it's using ONTRACK. 
please close this bug
