Partition Table get messed through MacDrive / Windows

[Synapsis]

Hello,

 

I got a strange problem, somehow my windows xp screwed my partition table on an HFS drive, changing the Partition type from

HFS+ to NTFS (wtf?) i can't auto-mount those partition in OS X anymore, and i got an annyoing popup about reinitializing an disk with os x

everytime i boot.

 

I can mount those Volumes back manually by specifying the filesystem as hfs (mount -t hfs /dev/blablabla /Volumes/blablabla)

however i have to do it manually, which simply pisses me off.

 

Changing the partition type would'nt screw the filesystem itself, would it? I never had an issue like this before, and i like

the data on those two partitions, so i wouldnt mind keeping them there. My simplest guess is to reedit the partition table at change

the partition type to HFS (Hex: AF) but im not sure if this wouldnt {censored} the Partition Table and render my Data bye bye.

 

Can anyone tell me how to do it right, and how to prevent this from happening again,

my Guess is that MacDrive in combination with XP storage managment {censored}ed the table on some stage,

accessing my HFS partitions through MacDrive is a nice feature, but i would like to keep my data intact

 

[woo, i like the auto censorship features, makes my posts lookin more spicy ]

 

thanks for your advice
