But you only mention 3 partitions above, and I don't know if that is a reporting error on your part or an indication of some other problem. So the first thing you should do is check your partition table as I did above (run fdisk and use its p command).

If he ran with the RH defaults, then it made a 100MB /boot partition, a swap partition, and then the / partition. That'll fill the partition table right up on a dual-boot system.

That certainly makes sense ... but in his message he did include a list of partitions, and it only had 3 entries (only one linux partition, so no /boot partition, presumably).


If he just missed the fourth one ... he didn't say *how* he checked the partition list ... the procedure I described will find it for him, and he may have something of a mess on his hands (depending on the geometry of the drive as the BIOS sees it).

If he did not miss it, and he really has only 3 partitions, then he has a different problem and needs different help.
