It will pay you to have a read of the Linux document 'HOWTO-Partition', so you will have an idea of what the terms mean. You can find that at dunedin.lug.net.nz You might get lucky since you had only one partition. Note that there are several addressing modes -- LBA is probably OK, but you can try each of them in turn if that does not work. It is likely that you will have to do a 'fdisk/mbr' from startup disk (your Install or Repair floppy should let you boot to DOS and do this).	Guest (0)
