so I have a 2 tb drive for my original xbox that accidentally got activated in device management under Windows thus now the drive thinks its a MBR system which it should not be. Ive done the quick scan - which took about 24hours, done the deeper scan which took 36hours or so and it still only finds partitions of either 32 or 128 length in size which is completely not correct. Now when I first select the drive it does display some partitions which are the true ones - but there is no option for me to write that to the disk as they dont appear after doing the scans. So I feel my only way to attempt this is after the scans, add those partitions in manually but thats where i am becoming confused figuring out what are the start and stop numbers for each sector. This is what i want my ending partition structure to look like. as you can see after the scans these are my only options. The first one listed is my attempt at hitting the A button and adding one to match the first image but as you can see i can get some of the numbers to match up but not all the CHS, i used start sector 16 and end sector at 1536015 or something like that to match the numbers i could.
