problem with partition table
My /dev/sda has 6081 cylinders:
sda1: cylinder 1 thru 600 for win2k
sda2: cylinder 5401 thru 6081 for sarge
sda3: cylinder 601 thru 4800 for a extended partition
sda4: cylinder 4801 thru 5400 for etch
etch use about 54% disk space
so I delete sda4 and recreate it at cylinder 5201 thru 5400
then I install mandrake at sda4
Now I change sda4 to cylinder 4801 thru 5400
and find etch is corrupted
then I change sda4 to cylinder 5201 thru 5400
and find mandrake is corrupted too.
Can anyone offer some explaination?
