I'm sorry, that is the result of my clumsiness. There is only one HD, and it is a SATA drive. The DFSee report came back naming "hda" in both places above, and I replaced one of the instances with "sda" as I was mulling over the significance of what appears to be an error of some sort. I forgot to change it back when I sent my note to this forum.
The only "hda" on the machine is the CD/DVD drive. That is a certain, as you can see from the fact that, when I need to unmount the CD/DVD drive in order to eject a disk, my command is "umount /dev/hda".
I ran DFSee v9.xx from OS/2, because that is the only way I can do it. The whole problem, of course, is that I can't access Linux. I do not have a DFSee v9.xx bootable disk, but I do have one for v8.02, but I am sure this earlier version does not give a much detail as the new v9.xx does. Do you want me to run DFSDISK with DFSee v8? Or some other report? Nothing would be easier, just say the word.
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/tmp/dfsee/p-t18f.txt shows you what I was looking for. Run from OS/2, it's simply the content of dfswork.log that DFSee tries to generate when you start it, press <RETURN>, and then exit, except that I've stripped away portions at the head of the file that are not useful for our purposes here. The Linux version does the same thing, except that the format of the table differs somewhat. 'part -b-' would simply append the DOS/OS2/doz-style table to the rest of it. As long as you're appending files, include /etc/grub.conf. Better yet, attach nothing, but instead post dfswork.log as dfswork1.txt in web space as I did above, and, also as above, put a link to it in your reply. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God."
