Actually I'm making progess: /dev/hdb1 * 1 1652 13269658+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) Looking a bit closer: Disk /dev/hdb1: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1651 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1p1 ? 120513 235786 925929529+ 68 Unknown Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(288, 101, 46) should be (288, 254, 63) /dev/hdb1p2 ? 82801 116350 269488144 79 Unknown Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(0, 13, 10) should be (0, 254, 63) /dev/hdb1p3 ? 33551 120595 699181456 53 OnTrack DM6 Aux3 Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(324, 77, 19) should be (324, 254, 63) /dev/hdb1p4 ? 86812 86813 10668+ 49 Unknown Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(335, 78, 2) should be (335, 254, 63) Partition table entries are not in disk order So I don't know for sure, but I'm sure that ontrack disk manager might be causing a problem. Not a problem . . . preparing to blow that away now. -- Bradley Miller
