FWIW, I've personally found that cfdisk can cope with lots of things that cause DOS/Win95 fdisk to choke badly. For eg. I had a disk with an NTFS psrtition, which DOS fdisk stubbornly refused to delete, no matter what I did and how much I swore at it. Booted with my bo rescue disk, fired up cfdisk, and managed to wipe it out with no problem. There you go, a linux rescue disk is a very valuable tool, even for DOS users! damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Systems Administrator EmpireNET Melbourne, Australia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
