Hi, just a word about this kind of error and partitionning: Not so long ago, I installed a 17.2 GB HD; I decided to partition it in 4 (at this time, it was completely under w98$) I made a primary partitition # 6 GB, I made 2 logicals # 4GB (for some reasons I wanted exactly the same size for these), and another logical for the rest (# 2.5GB) WITH the w$ fdisk. It sounds Ok, so I worked a bit, then some errors and I was obliged to reset; at the next boot, scandisk said to me that disk F: xas corrupted, but wasn't able to fix it; so I entered fdisk (w$) and made a simple addition: the total number of KB assigned to partitions was 7KB MORE than the total fo the HD! And When I tryied with the Linux fdisk, I had the error "partition table corrupted". The only manner to recover from that was to re-partition from Linux. So, w$ fdisk is a sh*t because it don't cut partitions where they must be, and because it don't even know how to add numbers... JY -- Jean-Yves F.
