Yes thx herb I am. Booting from an OLDEN 1TB hardrive that was top of the line a long time ago. I tried easus. waste of time. I tried mini partition tool. Nop. Only thing that worked? gParted. FTW!
fdisk -l shows

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 8192 124927 116736 57M e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
