I've had a problem where diskdrake did something (I was probably careless) to my Mac's System (main) volume, so I couldn't boot MacOSX. From Mandrake I could mount the partition using mount -t hfs /dev/hda9 but not using mount /dev/hda9. I managed to write a program that recreates the first sector of a HFS+ partition, but this will probably not help you if you don't even have the partitions as /dev/hdc?. Fdisk is for x86 machines, and doesn't work with Mac disks. You should use mac-fdisk instead. Good luck /Kasper -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
