Hi Luca, I'm trying to reproduce the "Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition" and "Can't have a partition outside the disk!" bugs, with no success so far. If your partition scheme is not too far as how it was, can you please send it using the sector unit of parted ( "parted /dev/hda unit s print" ) or with "fdisk -l -u /dev/hda" ? CHS would be appreciated too : "parted /dev/hda unit chs print". Thanks, Guillaume Knispel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
