OK - I went back a few messages and you did show us your partition table. > Boot Begin Start End Blocks System > /dev/hda1 * 1 1 163 82120+ Linux native > /dev/hda2 164 164 244 40824 Linux swap > > /dev/hda3 245 245 1260 512064 Linux native > /dev/hda4 1024 1261 2484 616896 Extended
Am I reading this right? Could the extended partition in hda3 be overlapping the one in hda4? I see hda3 ending at 1260 and hda4 beginning at 1024. I think the problem is that I don't understand extended partitions, and thus I don't see what the difference is between "begin" and "start". > /dev/hda5 1024 1261 1870 307408+ Linux native > /dev/hda6 1024 1871 2484 309424+ Linux native Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] 510-215-3502 Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.
