Ok, Sorry for the LONG reply back on the status of this. 1) I had to reformat, I damaged it to the point it wouldn't start for nothing. 2) I ended up learning a lot, (was down for 4 - 5 days though) When I followed the suggestions given.. It all seemed to work fine.. until I rebooted my computer. Then lilo would give me an error (don't have the error as I got frustrated and just reformated. Thanks for the help though (throws parted back in the garbage <-- my personal feelings, nothing against the people that made it) On Thu, Oct 24, 2002 at 02:26:44AM -0700, Michelle Storm wrote: > Ok, was told this would be more useful as far as partition information > > #parted -s /dev/hda print > > Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-76319.085 megabytes > Disk label type: msdos > Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags > 1 0.031 7.844 primary ext3 boot > 2 7.844 721.669 primary linux-swap > 3 721.670 1200.168 primary ext3 > 4 1200.168 76316.594 extended > 5 1200.199 8354.113 logical ext3 > 6 8354.145 32192.753 logical ext3 > 7 32192.785 51269.941 logical ext3 > 8 51269.972 65577.832 logical ext3 > 9 65577.863 76316.594 logical ext3 > > > > Ok.
