I think the command fdisk /newmbr may solve this problem

Subject: OS/2 FDISK not recognizing partition
This is more OS/2 related, but I know there are a number of OS/2 folks on
the list...
I am trying to install Warp 3.0 on a logical D: drive on my Thinkpad 360PE
(on an extended partition of the internal 540MB HD). The drive was
created with Partition Magic, and I can see and use the drive in DOS and
Win 3.1. However, when I try to install OS/2 using Advanced Installation,
FDISK only sees a C: drive. It does not see the 1MB of free space before
C: (for installing Boot Manager) and it does not see the 110MB of the D:
drive. I know I could format C: and set everything up from within FDISK,
but I REALLY don't want to reinstall my Win 3.1/DOS apps and data.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
