I don't know what your problem is either, but if you post the output of sfdisk -d /dev/[whatever] we'll look at it and see if we can suggest anything. -- Michael McIntyre Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If that doesn't work, you will have to use sfdisk, it usually always works, but is much more difficult to use than cfdisk or fdisk. But what should I do with fdisk or sfdisk? I don't have any idea about howto fix this. I don't even know what is the problem. Anyone could help me out please? Thanks! Daniel First, backup your drives if you want to keep the data. I'm unfamiliar with sfdisk, but "man sfdisk" and "man fdisk" might be a good place to start. For fdisk, start it with "fdisk /dev/hde", then press "p" to "print" (to the screen) the current partition table setup. "m" will give you the list of available commands. Beyond that, I'm not sure what it'll take to fix the issue. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can fix the partition table? If you're trying to repartition it, and don't care about losing what's already on it: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde bs=512 count=1 -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F pgpOKyjqdbauQ.pgp Description: PGP signature
