Partitions, created by linux fdisk, seem to have errors (disabling parted/qtparted, etc.) The table looks like this (I do not know whether it made it this way--I only gave fdisk types and sizes, or other things caused the errors. There were originally two fat32s plus one linux and swap on this disk, made by PartionMagic--one fat32 was eliminated and the space taken for several ext3 partitions made using linux fdisk):

Appears as if the same is true for hdb6 and hdb7. How do I SAFELY fixe this up? hdb2 is either not needed or needs to be shrunk to same size and hdb5 in which case hdb5 should probably be tagged 'b' -- the only simple change it seems clear how to do. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
