Unfortunately I did not look this up (and I have no chance to access this machine soon). dmesg showed the kernel recognized everything okay. hda was the Samsung hard disk, hdd (indeed, hdd) was the Samsung CD-ROM. > > > How did cfdisk fail? > > It said: Error, cannot open device. This begs the question of how you ran it, if you didn't bother to look for a device node (which would be in devfs syntax, so not /dev/hda). IIRC, cfdisk has to be told the device to run on, you must have told it something or it would have given you a usage message. -- see shy jo
