OK - I went back a few messages and you did show us your partition table.

Am I reading this right? Could the extended partition in hda3 be
overlapping the one in hda4? I see hda3 ending at 1260 and hda4
beginning at 1024. I think the problem is that I don't understand
extended partitions, and thus I don't see what the difference is
between "begin" and "start".
