Odd, but perhaps they were in that order on the disk.

Now what do you guys say I try?
BTW, cfdisk is a text program with a pretty nice interface.

Hey Ryan. First, don't feel bad. I did that myself and ended
Okay, here's some more info that might help, or just convince you
that I need to reinstall.
When Linux boots, it recognizes my physical disk, and then later,
yes, all partitions... hda1,hda2,hda3.
Also, it is still type 83.
And I looked at the error message again, and it actually says this:
I've got a couple of machines which dual-boot Debian and NT (though on one
of them, NT is going away very soon). I initially had NT installed on
them, and later installed Debian, which if I understand correctly, is the
case here. Both will boot either OS just fine.
My server machine at home has

Ryan,
I don't know enough about Linux to suggest a rescue procedure. But I
have a sugestion to use instead of Lilo.
I have a floppy disk to boot for Linux (yes I know ancient technology
and slow to boot). There are some real advantages.

Using the dinstall system I'd go in and say activate existing swap

(or whatever the actual wording is...) and then I'd do the same with your
