Hi! I think I have a serious problem with my partition table. I did all the partitions with fdisk but may be not right, or somewhen screwed my partition table up. I want to use a graphical tool like gparted also doing some changes on my fat32 partition. But when I installed gparted I got an empty partition table with nothing than
unallocated 55.89 GB (my disk is an 60 GB Hitachi) nothing else!!! Here is my outpu from # fdisk -l fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1913 15361888+ 7 HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda2 1914 4208 18427027+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda3 5100 7296 17637480 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda4 4208 5099 7164990 83 Linux /dev/hda5 * 5100 5108 68008+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 5108 5173 521608+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda7 5173 7296 17047768+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order This seems wrong to me. Also parted says something with overlapping partitions and its right I think. Is there any chance to repair this without destroying the whole installation? I have backuped my installation with rsync and also did save my mbr: dd if=/dev/hda of=/backup/mbr512.img bs=512 count=1 and dd if=/dev/hda of=/backup/mbr446.img bs=446 count=1 Must I somehow reinstall my partition table? And how to do this? Ok, thank you and have a nice sunday! --------------------------------- Was Sie schon immer wissen wollten aber nie zu Fragen trauten? Yahoo! Clever hilft Ihnen.
