Heu, the above doesn't seem to fail in the diagnostic of what the new version should be fixing though. Gene, are you sure the disk actually had a partition table, and if so, what was it ? Also, could you see what the kernel has to say about it, by going to console 2, and looking at /proc/partitions. Also, what parted has to say about it directly too. Go to console 2 and type parted, and then print, copy the info, and then quit. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
