Trust me: I'll remember that in the future. > I am pretty sure this is documented and in the faq and archives. Maybe so, at least implicit, but I dare to say not explicit. I don't blame anyone but myself though. > You could try setting the partition not to be used to some other dummy type. > Backup first. Ymmv. I tried setting fdisk partition 1 back to NTFS (0x07). Then, after quitting fdisk, the system complained about missing parameteres when trying to run reboot, halt and eventually shutdown. I managed to reboot somehow but then no kernel was found. I then booted from CD and managed to get the system back online with the two "multiple A6 entries". 1. When I used "flag 1" in fdisk during install, did the installer place the new files in fdisk partition 1? 2. If so, does the original 5.0 installation still exists in fdisk partition 2? 3. If so, can my original disklabel be restored? Cheers Erling
