| 295213 | 2004-11-30 05:13:00 | > mount /dev/hda2 yoper Just make sure that hda2 is the partition that holds /, otherwise you will need to subsitute the number to match that partition. If you are unsure which partition Yoper's / is on, run this command from the prompt first: fdisk -l |

Added YOS * so then i set partition 1 active and retried the commands and i got: WARNING: unable to determine video adapter in use in the present system. Added YOS * here (sal.neoburn.net(Large).jpg) is a pic that i took with my digi cam, i hope you can see something at the partioning part as it is not completely clear but try zooming in cheers |

| 295215 | 2004-11-30 06:27:00 | Yoper's root is on hdc1 and not hdc2 according to QTParted. Just how do you have your HDD set up? Do you have your CD drives on Primary Master and Salve and your HDD on Secondary Master? This might be behind Lilo's confusion to where the MBR is ... |

| 295216 | 2004-11-30 06:38:00 | good question, after my broken cable discovery i only have 1 cd rom hooked up instead of 2, but i think my cd rom is on the secondary and my hard drive is on primary( the are both on seperate ide cables) is there any way to tell from windows? cos i dont wanna reboot at the moment, my new rounded ide cables are on the way, they should arrive in the next few days |

| 295217 | 2004-11-30 06:42:00 | You ask how the CD Rom is set up jen, becuase hdc is normally reserved for the CD in Linux? I would say the MBR is probably on hda1 if that's where windows is installed and Lilo is on hdc1, would that make sense Jen. Why is the /yos/ram drive on hdc3 shown as NTFS? I haven't noticed that before. And I presume the hiddem /yos/ram is the extended partition, hidden 0.49MB?? doesn't look quiet right, although I we can't see the top of the tree nor the end of the bar. |

| 295218 | 2004-11-30 07:32:00 | Did you create free space at the beginning of your drive and push XP to the end when you partitioned it? Normally hda is your Primary Master HDD, hdb your Primary Slave, and hdc Secondary Master with hdd your Secondary Slave. *Most* people have their CD devices on hdc. |

I meant that it looks like in your screenshot of QTParted that you created free space at the beginning of the drive for Linux instead of at the end so that Linux comes after XP in the partition order. |
