Hi all,
I've had some problem with my laptop harddisk. It is the partitioning that
is part of the problem.
I've had this sarge install for some years now, with dualboot with
windoze. I "think" the partition was:
/dev/hda1 primary boot windoze xp
/dev/hda4 extended with logical drives
/dev/hda5 logical another fat32 partition
/dev/hda6 logical /
/dev/hda7 swap
/dev/hda8 logical /home (the rest of the disk
The problem was after I formated hda1 and reinstalled windoze. After that
it was just like a partition was gone.... / was suddenly hda5....
I was able to get the / and /home partition with dd and tested to restore
the / part, that was OK.
I've tested partition with fsck and got no errors so I dont know what went
wrong this time when reinstalling windoze. Usually I just install it from
the second dos part, start debian with cd and rerun lolo, thats it. No I
was not able to read the disk parts with either fdisk of qparted from
Knoppix.
Anyhow, I deleted the old fat32 part and created a new primary linux
partition, restored the image and rebooted from the new partition, then
made ext3 filesystem with no problem. This is 6 G of total 40.
So, what is the best way to partition the rest this time? Any hints or
tips?
