Hi, Hmmz, they're not overlapping. I'm not sure what causes this problem, maybe it has something to do with this extended partition? are you sure you use /dev/hda2 as SWAP partition? that seems quite weird :)
I think the answer is somewhere in the 2 errors you get while listing the table. I guess someone on this list will know what they mean exactly: fdisk: Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite) parted: Error: Invalid partition table on /UNIONFS/dev/hda -- wrong signature 0. cheers, plors On Mon, 2005-12-19 at 16:58 +0100, Ugo Locatelli wrote: > Dear Bart, > > i guess some partitions are overlapping. > > could you send us the output of 'fdisk -lu' ? > > > > Et voila': > > > Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite) > Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3648 cylinders, total 58605120 sectors > Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/hda1 * 63 16305974 8152956 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) > /dev/hda2 16305975 17864279 779152+ 5 Extended > /dev/hda3 20932695 58605119 18836212+ 83 Linux > /dev/hda4 17864280 20932694 1534207+ 83 Linux > > Partition table entries are not in disk order > > > Thanks, > ciao, > Ugo > > > P.S.
