hi

I am working with linux kernel 2.6.12, i want to read partition table
information for 250 G.B.

I am using 48-bit LBA addressing and i am able to read primary
partition information but not able to read extended(information for
logical partition) partition information, i found starting sector no
of extended partition, when i read from that starting sector i found
all zeros 16 bytes information,please tell me how do i read,thanks.

with regards
