Problems with my HD
Hello everyone,
I used Fdisk which showed me this below, and would like to know if someone
can tell me what cause's this type of a problem, and how to eliminate it
from
happening again...
My HD is a Western Digital 6.4gb drive...
/dev/hda: 784 cyls, 255 heads, 63 sectors
units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
device Boot Begin start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 17 131323+ 6 Dos16-bit>=32M
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys = (16,89,63) should be (16,254,63)
/dev/hda2 * 17 17 101 674730 83 Linux native
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys - (101,89,65) should be (100,254,63)
/dev/hda3 101 101 114 104422+ 82 Linux Swap
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys = (113,89,63) should be (113,254,63)
This was the same for /dev/hda4, but the rest were shown like this...
/dev/hda5 114 114 369 2048256 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 369 369 624 2048256 83 "
/dev/hda7 624 624 700 610438+ 83 "
/dev/hda8 700 700 738 305203+ 83 "
Dmesg: Showed this hda: wdc #xxxx, 6149mb w/256 cache, chs=784/255/63
In CMOS setup, I do have Normal, LBA, and Large, using LBA and have cmos
auto detect the HD, it comes up with this...
Options Size Cyls Heads Precomp Landzone Sectors Mode
1 (y) 101 13328 15 65535 13327 63 Normal
2 101 784 255 0 " 63 LBA
3 101 6664 30 65535 " 63 Large
So I choose option #2
Any comments on the above as to why this has happened would be
appreicated...
Thanks...
