Fedora FC2's hardware browser identifies my controller as an Intel 82801EB (ICH5) Serial ATA 150 Storage controller. The sfdisk -l command when run as root returns: Disk /dev/sda: 14589 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sda1 0+ 4 5- 40131 6 FAT16 /dev/sda2 * 5 12038 12034 96663105 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 12039 12051 13 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 12052 14588 2537 20378452+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 12052+ 14458 2407- 19334196 83 Linux /dev/sda6 14459+ 14588 130- 1044193+ 82 Linux swap Warning: start=63 - this looks like a partition rather than the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless. [Use the --force option if you really want this] Why are the devices listed as sda and not hda? Should I correct it and how? Is the warning a problem? Thanks, Richard
