II have a Dell 8300 with a 120Gb SATA Seagate drive. I set my Dell 8300's bios to UDMA off, and tried to install FC2 at the boot prompt I entered: boot: linux sda=14589,255,63 The install went well. Feeling paranoid, I booted my Knoppix Cd, and I did a sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk --no-read -H255 /dev/hda I am afraid I screwed up the partition table. How can I check it? From the Knoppix CD I get: root@ttyp0[~]# sfdisk -d /dev/hda # partition table of /dev/hda unit: sectors /dev/hda1 : start= 63, size= 80262, Id=16 /dev/hda2 : start= 80325, size=193326210, Id= 7, bootable /dev/hda3 : start=193406535, size= 208845, Id=83 /dev/hda4 : start=193615380, size= 40756905, Id= f /dev/hda5 : start=193615443, size= 38668392, Id=83 /dev/hda6 : start=232283898, size= 2088387, Id=82 I intended to give linux 20Gb and the balance to XP. Fedora split the 20Gb into 4 separate partitions. Does this look okay? How can I check or fix it? Thanks, Richard
