Brooklyn, NY | | Hi, new new user here.
I just "installed" diskedit and it comes up with what purports to be sector 0 of drive C.
My minor issue:
I have a choice of drives: "Logical" Drive C, Physical 0, Physical 1, Physical 2.
Duh: Which physical is which drive? On my PC, I have a quirk: The boot drive comes up as drive F: while C is a Corsair flash memory drive.
I also have partition H and G on another (USB) drive.
So which drive is physical 0, 1, and 2?
I also realize it does not understand partitions; it edits strictly at the physical disk level. I suppose I would call that a feature request - to work at the partition level. Still, the main question remains: Which physical drive corresponds to which number?
Thanks.

ohio | | Hi. It's your responsibility to figure that out.
You should of never installed your boot drive/partition as letter F: in the first place.
This can happen if you have to install a Windows operating system with a media card reader attached to the motherboard....Windows XP will use the media card drive letters first for some reason, and then when you get all done with the installation the drive letters are all screwed up which is sounds like your situation.
But basically you need to goto your BIOS then, and read what drives are in what order, example: Primary IDE Drive 0, Primary IDE Device 1, Secondary IDE Device 0, Secondary IDE Device 1 is pretty common referring to your hard drives 0 is master, 1 is slave position.
But yeah there's no easy way....make sure your flash drive and any other drives that you don't need are disconnected so it makes it easier to figure out what refers to what.
Also I guess....try a program like SIW to get all the specs of your computer.
