Hi everyone, I just got a Quantum 10 Gig drive and because my bios only sees it as eight meg I need to use a drive manager program to correct it.
I need to do this cause i dual boot windows to play games when I get frustrated with Linux :) The boot message shows this first hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL CX10.2A, 9787MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=1247/255/63 then lower down it shows this hda: [DM6:DDO] [remap +63] [-1072536478/64/63] hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 > hda3
Cfdisk gives me this info cfdisk 2.9z
Disk Drive: /dev/hda Size: 10262536704 bytes Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 1247
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hda3 Boot Primary Linux ext2 8.23 Primary Free Space 0.04* hda1 Primary Hidden FAT16 1077.48* hda5 Logical Win95 FAT32 5083.23 hda6 Logical Linux swap 106.93 hda7 Logical Linux ext2 3981.04
and fdisk tells me i have errors ie Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 25698 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 5 526 1052226 16 Hidden FAT16 Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(131, 254, 63) should be (131, 63, 63) /dev/hda2 526 4969 8956237+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 63, 63) /dev/hda3 * 1 4 8001 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(0, 254, 63) should be (0, 63, 63) /dev/hda5 526 2989 4964053+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 2989 3041 104391 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 3041 4969 3887698+ 83 Linux
This partion table doesn't look right to me. If the first partition ends on 2989 then the next should start on 2990, etc. At least mine does. JLK
Should I be worried about this? Everything seems to be working ok but i don't want things to stuff up later on.
Thanks, Glenn
