Brady, You may need root privileges to view/change some of these settings try this series of commands, and then post the output: su fdisk -l /dev/hda cat /boot/grub/grub.conf exit explanation: su changes you to root user (you'll need to supply your root password) fdisk -l (lowercase "l", as in list) /dev/hda will print the current partition information on your (first) hard drive. If there are multiple, also do this for /dev/hdb (i.e., fdisk -l /dev/hdb) cat /boot/grub/grub.conf will show you the grub menu--for your computer's boot options (we are assuming you are using grub for your bootloader).
