That partition scheme must have been created by some other tool. The Wheezy debian-installer will create this following type of layout from this example system. Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 2048s 999423s 997376s primary ext2 2 999424s 17000447s 16001024s primary linux-swap(v1) 3 17002494s 78163967s 61161474s extended 5 17002496s 78163967s 61161472s logical ext4 Note that partitions sda1, sda2, and sda5 are all aligned properly for AF 4k drives. Note that sda1 is /boot but the debian-installer does not set the boot flag. The first partition sda1 will start at sector 2048. All of these are different from what you show. Therefore it must have been created by a different tool. > Which it is not complaining about.

If it wasn't you and it wasn't the debian-installer then it must have been someone else. Someone must have repartitioned those when you weren't looking. Do you have a cat? I always suspect the cat. :-) Bob
