Keep forgetting the news:linux.debian.laptop gateway is only one way :) Hmmm - lphdisk on my system wan'ts a partition type of A0. The s2d partition is already set to type 84 - "OS/2 hidden c: drive", so lphdisk bails out. Can I safely turn on "-f" - I am wary of anything that mentions disk corruption when it's been so long since my last backup :) -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ "Nature is pretty" -- CmdrTaco
